Kids will have a terrific time learning math skills as they avoid the hilarious pitfalls of the Sum Swamp. Designed for two to four players, this game is sure to develop and sharpen beginning math skills, because the only way to escape the mire is to roll the dice and add and subtract your way around the board. If you're lucky, you'll be able to take the Crocodile Short Cut, although sooner or later everyone gets caught in the Endless Loop. Landing on special squares, such as Even or Odds or a number space, makes things even more interesting; you could get stuck for quite a while. The best part is that this is a game kids can grow with--children 5 to 6 will find it a learning challenge, and older kids can play for fun. The game is an Oppenheim Best Toy award winner. --Marianne Painter

I made my kids say the addition problem out loud and then told them the answer. I found in the first and second game they were coming up with the sums themselves. I guess they remembered the answer from the last time the dice rule the same addition or subtraction problem.

They don't want to play every day but the effortless math practice is worth every penny to me.

This game is absolutely wonderful. Great educational value and fun at the same time. Very easy to play and my six year old doesn't even realize he's learning.....just having fun! Very easy to play. We pull this game out over and over again!

This game is fun. you move on the board by rolling dices: 2 with numbers and on with a plus/minus sign. based on the results, you add the numbers or subtract them and that is how it is decided how much to move on the board.

it is pretty short but it has a shortcut and an endless loop so it is fun, not to repetitive and not boring.

some special places on the board require the child to know even and odd to move forward.

Overall, since Christmas, my son has played this game almost every day and is speed in making simple addition and subtractions has gone up considerably.

even better, he likes the game, the graphics and racing to the end. big hit.

Sum swamp is great for helping your child work on addition, subtraction, even, and, odd. This is the first thing that got my 7 year old son interested in math. I have enjoyed watching him have fun while working on the problems. I would highly recommend for children age 4-7.

This is another tool I use to tutor a 1st grader in math. It's a great and easy game and wonderful tool for learning math basics. You can even make up seperate games using the dice with the addition and subtraction symbol. If you are a parent struggling teaching your child math, games like this are PERFECT because they make learning fun.
