Item: TF016

A perfect game for beginning readers. Kids love the scramble to build words! Phonics practice comes naturally when kids attempt spell their own words from letter tiles. Who "Gnu" learning could be this much fun!

A winner of 3 Awards of Excellence:
iParenting Media's Excellent Products Award, 2006
The National Parenting Center's Seal of Approval, 2006
Canadian Toy Testing Council 2 Star Award

The object of the game is to spell more three-letter words than the other players. Word-Starter cards which have one letter and two blanks are spread out for everyone to see. Players slide the clever Letter Getter to magically reveal two letter tiles. At the same time, players must look at these tiles and try to make three-letter words by filling in the blanks on the Word-Starter cards. The player with the most three-letter words when all the tiles run out wins!

Building your vocabulary is three times more fun with What's GNU? The three-letter word game that spells FUN.

    Great Combination Of Learning And Fun

    I bought this for my son, 5 years old. He loves the game. This is helping him learn 3 letter words. He does need a little help to figure them out.

    My 4 year old son loves Zingo so I bought What's Gnu for him in hopes that he will enjoy it as well. So far he does and he's learning how to spell 3 letter words at the same time. I think Think Fun games are great and plan to buy others from this company.

    Not As Good As Zingo, But Still Worth Getting
    Posted 12/26/2007 by Mother Of A 6 Year Old

    I got this game because my son has done so well with Zingo. This is harder for a child who is reading at a basic level so we modified the game rules. I think it will be better once he is a more accomplished reader.

    Making Words

    This game was hard for my 5 1/2 yr old grandson so I helped him choose the correct card and letters, then let him decide where the letters should go. The game has endless possibilities. I taught reading for many years, and I am impressed.
