AGO Phonics Box Set

My 7years old DD loves UNO, and she is playing the AGO game at school. It’s like a UNO phonics version. The Phonics set level1 and level 2 are too easy for year2 kids. Level 3 and Level4 are prefect.

An excellent fun way to help your children learn

Played it a few times. Definitely for school aged kids who have some understating of phonics. Tried with preschoolers but took quite a bit of thinking from them so lost the game momentum. I'm sure it will be a good game when they're a bit older.

This is a gift so not been used yet but the packaging looks nice and I'm sure it will be gratefully received.

Kids loved playing cards, all the family can join in. Makes learning fun. Especially through lock down

My 6 yr old happily plays this without realising hes learning at the same time :)

Kids love this.

Definitely a great gift. Got these for my daughter to learn the sounds and reading better as she's 5. Kind of learning without knowing it. So the game has been great. It has 3 different decks inside with different levels of difficulty I suppose but pretty much the same. You play it the same as uno. If you haven’t played it before its simple enough as you can see in the video. It's good fun for adults as well as it's combination of strategy and luck. And also very simple for everyone to understand. Definitely recommend. Price isn't the cheapest but like I said it has 3 decks inside so I suppose you can split them and keep and play different places like home, car, caravan etc.

Bought it a while back but only just got to using it. Packaging is lovely and sturdy, the box has magnetic closing. We are using it for homeschooling so my child can learn phonics and reading. Cards are made of a more durable material so good for use with younger kids. Game is basically like an UNO game, my 7 year old likes it and we read out all the words on each card that is discarded. We are on Level 1 now but I am sure we will enjoy all levels. Definitely feels like money well spent especially if you have a child who enjoys a less traditional method of learning.

Buen recurso, juego, para trabajar las phonics

Gioco super ben studiato!! Praticamente è “uno” fuso con l’apprendimento della fonetica inglese, ci sono tre mazzi divisi per livello, nel primo livello ci sono le lettere base, nel secondo inizia la fonetica con l’accoppiamento di più lettere ad esempio la a in mezzo e la e a fine parola e nel terzo i suoni più difficili (“ur” “ae” ecc) mio figlio ha 6 anni appena compiuti ed è un amante di “uno”, questa versione gli piace da matti e posso approfittare per insegnargli l’inglese divertendosi

Ein ganz tolles Spiel bei dem meine Kinder überhaupt nicht das Gefühl haben jetzt etwas "lernen zu müssen". Sie haben wirklich Spaß, wie bei anderen Tisch- bzw Kartenspielen. Für die 9-jährige finde ich es toll, dass es verschiedene Schwierigkeitsstufen gibt. Manches wird wiederholt, manche Vokabeln neu erlernt und dazu noch die Aussprache geübt + sie sieht die richtige Schreibweise. Die 6-jährige lernt spielerisch mit und hat auch ihren Spaß. Während wir das Spiel spielen, sprechen wir Erwachsenen (alles zum Spiel Dazugehörende) in englisch aus, zb. Farbwechsel, "du bist dran", "welche Farbe ist das?", usw...das gehört für die Kinder einfach mit dazu und ist eine zusätzliche Übung. Was für uns ein weiterer Vorteil ist: kein Mitspieler musste neue Regeln erlernen, da das Spiel dem bekannten und beliebten Kartenspiel mit drei Buchstaben sehr sehr ähnelt (welches unsere Kinder eh gerne spielen). Vielen Dank für diese Klasse Idee, wir können das Spiel wärmstens empfehlen!

AGO cards are the best product I've found to help in my low-level ESL classroom. The concept is like UNO (which is easily understood cross culturally) but with a language element. It's a nice mix of a competitive game and language practice. These ones are based on phonics, so teacher supervision is needed during the game to correct pronunciation. I use the Q&A cards as well and they're great.
