This game is so fun! I’m a pediatric SLP and use it to target so many different forms of language. It’s definitely sturdy, as my kids will try to rip off the vines. I like how you can customize many different parts for what you’re trying to target.

As a speech language pathologist, I cannot wait to use Jungle Rescue! Hello language opportunities!!!! “Oh no! Save the Alligator!” “Help, help! Get me out!”

It’s great quality and super cute. It says that the age range to play is 3+, but I’ll be honest, my 3 year old niece was incredibly confused by the concept. This will definitely be a lot more fun for her to play when she’s a bit older.

My in home daycare loves this game. It is played almost every day.

Perfect for having students (prek-kindergarten) play a game and strengthen their hand muscles.

This is fabulous!! I bought it for my early intervention kiddos I see for speech therapy, but let my seven year old try it out first and she was OBSESSED. GREAT for early intervention... so many ways to use the pieces without even playing the game as designed: fine motor using the tongs, vocabulary and pretend play with the animals, cognitive matching animals to animals, animals to cards and you can even use just the cards to play a five-match game perfect for those almost three year olds!!

I am an SLP and my preschool, TK and K students all enjoy this game. There are a lot of variations on how you can play, the game comes with a spinner and cards so you can adapt the game play in a number of ways. There are a ton of great language concepts that can be addressed with this game. The “rescue” element of grabbing the animals with the tongs through the vines is novel. The animals are made from a hard plastic and sometimes it’s difficult to grip the animals with the tongs but the kids just think it’s part of the challenge, you could easily swap out the tongs with some others if it was an issue and you can make it easier by just using fewer vines. Just 4 stars because the quality is not quite as nice as with my games from Educational Insights but it certainly has a place on my shelves.

This is such a cute game! The tongs are a little stiff, but it is helping with my 3 year old’s pincer grasp! Also good for helping her to learn to take turns and follow the rules. But sometimes we just make up other ways to play with the game. Super fun and cute!
