Moo’s Code Card Game for Young Kids | Listening & Concentration | Ages 5+ | for 3 to 6 Players | Educational Game

"Anja Wrede's "Moo's Code" is a super fun game for kids! Players take turns being the fabulous Chef Moo-Moo, drawing recipe cards and tapping out Morse Code-like signals for different ingredients. The challenge is to listen carefully for these codes and quickly spot the matching ingredient card on the table. The game even includes cheeky little mouse cards for an extra sprinkle of fun. It's like a jazzed-up version of the card game Snap! but designed to help little ones improve their listening skills and number recognition. The game cards are color-coded (super helpful!) and there's even a wooden spoon for tapping out codes. Simple to play, yet educational, "Moo's Code" is a fantastic gift for your favorite preschooler.

I bought this game for my five-year-old son. While he enjoyed it, it wasn't his favorite, but I think that just came down to personal preference (I will say that listening and concentration are not his strongest skills!). I think it would be ideal for younger kids since it involves making noise and counting. The pieces seem durable and well designed and the price seems appropriate. This would be a nice gift for a child!

I expected this game to be too simple for bigger kids, but they ended up making rhythms out of the "dots" to mess with each other and make it harder. It was awesome to watch. I've played this among early readers, good readers, and advanced readers, and each age enjoyed the game. My pre-school non-reader really couldn't pay attention long enough though. I think I need to simplify further, but the game itself says 5+, so that's on me. I like how many different ways there are to play, and I like that it's can kind of be what you make of it. You really have to pay attention since this isn't a skill or strategy game - it's a concentration game that involves physical activity. I love the concept, and I expect that we'll keep in the game night rotation for years to come!

This game is great for young kids with a few ways to play for advancing skill levels. This is good for learning understanding sequences and patterns, even good for beginning preschool counters, additionally it teaches syllables. Fun game allows the chef to tap with spoon while other players try to guess the ingredients.

This game is supposed to be for age 5 and older, but my 6-year-old niece wasn't very interested. The instructions seem confusing--apparently you're supposed to tap out the number of syllables in each ingredient, and then see who guesses the ingredient correctly? I guess the wooden spoon might be good for measuring coffee!

I love playing games with kids of all ages…and this little gem is fun for all. I like the unique aspect of Moo’s Code which is based on listening. Unlike other games for young ones that often focus on simple dexterity tasks or memory, this game is based on careful listening. I also like the fact that adults and kids can play this together without there being a huge advantage in the adults favor. Older kids especially catch on quite fast and can be quite good at recognizing the rhythmic patterns. The game components are well done with colorful cards and a nicely carved small wooden spoon. This is a sweet, little game that’s fun to play. It also seems quite reasonably priced.

Great options on this game for players of various ages, including preschoolers as reading is not required. It takes a bit to get into the rhythm (pun intended) of playing, but then moves along well. Instructions are thorough. Very different concept from most children’s games.

We played this with my six year old neice and she loved it. She wanted to play again and again. It took her a few rounds of playing with help before she became fully comfortable playing on her own but she caught on quickly. She especially loved the card where chef moo moo threw down the spoon and exclaimed ahhhhh! The game teaches listening and memory skills. Even the adults playing had fun!
