Can a child recognize an object without seeing it? With Janod tactile bingo, little players discover how much they can learn just by using their hands.
Each participant must find the figures depicted on their card by feeling, without looking in the bag. The goal is to be the first to fill their playing card.
But there is a surprise! Among the wooden elements is a special bone - a trap that can change the course of the game.
How to play?
- Preparation: Each player chooses a playing card, and the wooden figures are placed in the textile bag.
- Discover by touch: Players take turns searching with their hand for a figure that matches an image on their card.
- Fill the card: If an element is correctly discovered, the player places it on the corresponding image.
- Watch out for the trap: If the bone is drawn, the player must return the already won figures back to the bag.
- Victory: The one who fills his card first wins.
- Second, easier option: For beginners, the child can take out any figure and to check if it is present on his card. Thus, the game gradually moves from visual recognition to discovery only through touch.
