Fisher Price Go Fish Game - A Fun Twist on a Classic Game
Fisher Price offers a different twist on a classic game with their boxed version of Go Fish. The game is for 2-4 players. Each player takes turns catching fish with the fishing rod that’s included with the game. Using the suction cup on the end of the fishing rod, players try to catch cardboard fish. The fish have numbers and colors on them. Players try to catch matched pairs (by color or number) similar to the classic Go Fish card game.
What I like most about this game are the various ways you can make up rules to match the age and understanding of the players. For example, matching pairs is still a bit challenging for my kids, so when we play, I assign each child a color, and they each fish for their own color (their turns don’t end until they catch something). Play ends when everyone catches all of their fish.
I also made up rules that will help them learn their numbers (which they now know). We flip the fish number-side down. When a player catches a fish, he or she has to yell out the color and number on the under-side. Again, play ends when all the fish are caught. There are so many possibilities for color and number learning for younger kids and mastering matching skills for older kids.
Actually, I wasn’t sure about this game when I first opened the box. Typically, things with suction cups never work as well as they’re shown on the box (or in commercials). I was pleasantly surprised by this game though. The suction cup really works and the fishing rod is sturdy enough that the kids can push down on it hard enough to actually catch a fish with the suction cup.
Although my kids got their Go Fish game as a gift from Grandma and Grandpa, I should mention that another nice thing about this game is that it’s inexpensive. The Fisher Price website lists the retail price as $7.00. You can’t beat the price for the number of activities you can make up with this game. Overall, I give Fisher Price’s Go Fish Game a thumbs up.
