Hey there! I’m here to guide you through the exciting world of Zingo 123. Ready to learn the rules? Let’s dive in!

Zingo 123 is a game that’s super fun and helps you build your counting skills. The game is played with a special board and tiles. Are you excited? I sure am!

Here’s how the game works:

Setup

First, set up the game board. It has a cool dispenser that releases the tiles one at a time. You can put the tiles in the dispenser and make sure it’s all ready to go.

Now, take the game board and put it in front of you. Then, give each player a Zingo card. These cards have spaces for the tiles you’ll collect during the game.

Are you ready to start? Great! Let’s move on to gameplay.

Gameplay

In Zingo 123, the goal is to fill your Zingo card with tiles that match the pictures and numbers on it. Sounds simple, right? But wait, there’s more!

Player 1 goes first. They will be the one to dispense the tiles from the dispenser. Each tile has a number on it, and you have to look for a tile that matches your Zingo card. Once you find a match, shout out the number and put the tile on your card.

It’s important to keep an eye on your Zingo card. If you see a picture or number that matches one of your tiles, be quick and claim it for your card.

The game keeps going until one player fills their entire Zingo card with tiles. And here’s the best part – once you get a Zingo, shout it out loud and show everyone your awesome skills!

Winning the Game

Yay, you did it! The first player who completely fills their Zingo card is the winner. Give yourself a big round of applause!

But wait… what if more than one player gets a Zingo at the same time? Don’t worry, there’s a rule for that too. In this case, the player with the most filled spaces on their Zingo card wins the game. How cool is that?

Now that you know the rules, it’s time to gather your friends and family and start playing Zingo 123. Get ready for an exciting and educational adventure like no other!

How to Set Up

Here’s what you need to do:

1. First, take off the top of the ZINGO! Zinger and mix up the 72 tiles.
2. Next, put the tiles back into the Zinger in two equal stacks and put the top back on.
3. Make sure that all players can see the ZINGO! Zinger clearly before you start playing.
4. Each player chooses a ZINGO! 1-2-3 card. The cards have two sides so you can play at different levels. Everyone should have the same colored side facing up.

Green Side: This side has pictures of different groups of objects and the number written out.

Red Side: This side has two sets of pictures with a plus sign for addition. There is no number written out, so you have to use your addition skills to find a match.

How to Replace Zingo! Tiles:

When Zinger is less than half full, just remove the cover to reload the tiles. It’s really that simple!

When Zinger is more than half full, you should reload tiles by using the cover slots.

Playing the Game

1. First, you have to decide who will be the Dealer. The Dealer is the one who gets to operate the ZINGO! Zinger. You can either have one player be the Dealer for the whole game, or you can take turns and give everyone a chance to be the Dealer.
2. The Dealer starts by sliding the ZINGO! Zinger back and forth. This reveals two tiles.

When you see a Number Tile that matches a picture on your ZINGO! Card, you call out the number, take the tile, and cover the picture on your card.
The Dealer puts any tiles that no one claimed back into the Zinger through the slots at the top of the device.

If two or more players want the same tile, it goes to the player who calls for it first. If there’s a tie, the Dealer puts the tile back in the ZINGO! Zinger.

If you ask for a tile you don’t need, the next player who calls it gets the tile.

The first player to cover all 9 spaces on their card shouts “ZINGO!” and wins!

The winner starts the next game as the Dealer.
