Found It! Halloween game
Found It! Halloween, £7.99 RRP, ages 4+
If it is time to burn off some energy, Found It! Halloween is a fast-paced scavenger hunt that turns learning into a search-and-find adventure.
Kids race to find objects around them based on spooky prompts, such as something orange, something with a pattern or something smaller than their palm. The first to find it shouts “FOUND IT!” to win the card.
There are 50 Halloween-themed game cards and two ways to play. Along the way, children build observation, phonics, number, shape, colour and logical reasoning skills. It is ideal for family game nights, classrooms and Halloween parties.
