Learning Resources Sum Swamp Game, Ages 5+, Addition & Subtraction Board Game, Fun Maths Games with Dice and Counters

This is a lovely simple game which really appeals to our 5yo. She loves the little animal game pieces, and we love the fact that we're helping her gain confidence with maths as we play. She's been really anxious about maths lessons at school, but this game lightened the mood a lot and she keeps asking to play. Definite win.

Played numerous times today with my kids (age 9, 7 and 5). Such a fun game! Maths element (simple subtraction and addition) challenged my 5 year old (in a good way - not intimidating) and was helpful for my 7 y.o (who admittedly struggles with maths). Maths aside - it is a super game, easy to grasp and hugely enjoyable. Perfect for kids age 5 - 9 (my 9 year old could do the maths standing on his head but still loved the game - particularly the 'endless loop').

My 5 year old daughter loves this game. Its perfect for any child who is learning to add and take away. Each piece is a lovely moulded creature of the swamp, there are shortcuts, endless loops and many other bonus squares. Most of all they will learn to: 1) add and take away any number from 0 to 12 2) recognise the + or - 3) learn about odd or even 4) learn about counting forwards and backwards 5) As time goes on these will also learn to add and take-away very quickly (without fingers) This game has won endless awards and if you buy any maths learning toy, make it this one. Out of all our educational board games this is by far a favourite in our house.

This game is sturdy, attractively produced, has a clear board and clear rules, with lots of interest. Does not take long for someone to win a game (the players only have one piece each to move round the board), so it is possible for everyone to have another chance to win in the next game. The maths was challenging for my 5-yr old grand-daughter (2nd year primary school), as she had not been taught addition and subtraction tables, and was trying to do it on her fingers. Will doubtless help her with her arithmetic, but it was tiring for her to try to work out the answer for everyone's "go", as we did at first. Might be an opportunity to have the addition and subtraction tables on display nearby, so that she could just look up the answer. That said, I would still thoroughly recommend this game.

My daughter really enjoys playing this, it's really bringing her maths along which is wonderful. It's an area she really struggles with so any form of repetition is key in getting the ideas to stick. A great idea and a great game. The idea is to wind your way through Sum Swamp by adding and subtracting the numbers on the dice. It's keeping her engaged and interested (she's 6), so that's all I can wish for. There are a number of other games on Amazon too, so hopefully we should have it all cracked soon!

I read a ton of great reviews about this game and it did not disappoint. It is not only educational but also fun!! On Christmas Day we played no less than 10 times and he has pulled it out every day since to play.

I home educate my children and have learned myself they learn more through play so this seemed to be a good idea when I came across it. And it certainly was a good idea! It was opened and played with as soon as it arrived, absolutely brilliant game not just for the children but for the whole family. Would recommend to others.

My 6 year old loves this game, it’s fun for adults too.

La calidad es excelente, el juego es muy divertido para niños pequeños y es una genial forma de reforzar las sumas y restas
