Product Description

The best educational toy to go along with Nick Jr.'s new TV animation "Nihao Kai-lan." Mandarin Chinese has often been perceived as a difficult language to learn, especially the writing system, but not any more, thanks to the award-winning KINGKA! With a unique combination of Bingo and a classic memory game, KINGKA guarantees that players of all ages, from 3 to 99, will learn 54 basic Chinese characters after winning the game. Once those have been quickly mastered, players can create 500+ new words or phrases as well as the numbers 1 to 99. KINGKA can also be used as a puzzle toy for young learners. Preschools, kindergartens and other early learning educational institutes across the country are using Kingka for helping childrens cognitive development. According to research, learning Chinese characters stimulates spatial perception. After young learners master the shapes of circle, triangle and square, KINGKA can further the visual discrimination that is vital to childrens brain development. Global-minded parents who want their children to be ahead of the pack encourage them to learn Chinese, the most in-demand second language in the United States. Play KINGKA, and let learning and fun go hand in hand! KINGKA is compatible with all elementary Chinese textbooks. 108 cards, 6 game boards and 1 audio CD pronunciation guide.

Customer Reviews

learning chinese can be so much fun
My four year old son really enjoys this game. He was never very enthusiastic about his chinese lesson, but when he plays kingka he's learning the characters fast!
I like that this product is very well made, durable (my two year old always tries to take it from her brother), and pretty to look at. Not only does it make learning Chinese fun, but it also makes a great gift.

Great Holiday Gift!!
My 7 year old daughter and 5 year old son love this game, and they have just about abandoned cartoons in favor of playing with each other, and along the way, they have gotten quite a grasp of the Chinese language.

I say bravo to the creator of this game and hope they get enough stock for the holidays, because this will be a big seller.

Chinese is the new power language, and more educated families will be interested in this game.

Fun and a great way to learn
My eleven year-old daughter used this prior to studying Mandarin Chinese in middle school this year. It really gave her a head start in the class and was a lot of fun to use. She's played it with kids her age and four year-olds and they all had a good time. We've since recommended it to several of her friends who are taking Chinese. This is a cleverly conceived product.
