Product Description
Product Description
This best-selling and award-winning game can help children with basic maths skills. Throw the two dice to move your bus counter around the board, counting passengers on and off your big bright bus board as you go. One die tells you how many spaces to move, and the other tells you how many passengers must get on or off your bus (depending on whether you land on a space showing a plus or minus sign). Children learn simple addition and subtraction skills while having fun, and there's plenty to talk about with so many passengers - where are they going? How many are wearing hats? Can you find a passenger with a moustache? Can you spot the helter skelter on the board? What animals can be seen on the board? The winner is the player with the most passengers when the bus reaches the bus station. Suitable for children aged 4 to 8, and for 2 to 4 players. Made from thick, durable recycled board, this brightly-coloured, sturdy game should give years of enjoyment. All Orchard Toys games are developed and designed by our in-house team and rigorously tested in local schools and playgroups to ensure that children are learning while having fun. An educational guide is printed on the box to show how the game can contribute to your child's education.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great game for early numbers and maths,

This review is from: Bus Stop (Toy)
Our son got this game for is 4th birthday and he has loved playing it ever since, with increasing level of counting/maths. No one maths game is going to interest a child from early counting to more advanced additon and subtraction. But the beauty of this game is that you can adapt the rules to the level of the children involved. We started using it for basic counting, and now one year later, it really helps with addition and subtraction. And I expect it will retain interest and educational value for some time to come.

Not worth it....,

This review is from: Bus Stop (Toy)
My 4 year old son was bought this for his birthday. It is a brightly coloured game and looks attractive. It also states that it "helps with adding and subtracting". However that's a bit of an overstatement.
The basic premise is that you start off with a bus with 10 empty seats, the idea being to fill as many as possible by the end. There are 2 dice, 1 tells you how many spaces to move and the other tells you how many people to add/remove. Each space has either a "+" or a "-" on it. In reality most of the time the bus is either completely empty or completely full for most of the journey - we spend most of our time saying "well I'm supposed to take 2 away but it's empty so I can't" or "I'm supposed to add 6 but it's full so I can't". The buses finish at different times so the end result isn't particularly exciting either. My son can't be the only 4 year old who finds the idea of counting between 1 and 6 people ridiculously simple. However he does rather like the game because he has his "favourite passengers" about whom he makes up stories. My 5 year old daughter will tolerate playing it once or twice. Older than that I can't imagine it having any value at all. I have always been a fan of Orchard Toys but there are more fun and more educational options than this one. For more fun I would recommend "Party party party" (advertised for 5-9 but I would say 3-7) and for more educational value I would recommend "Piggy in the middle" (advertised for 5-10 which is probably fair).

This review is from: Bus Stop (Toy)
This is an excellent game. My 4 year old really loves it. Basically you have to count people on and off your bus and make it all the way around the board. Just for a change it isn't the first to reach the finish that wins but the one with the most people on their bus. Because it holds his interest until the very end he is not too upset if he doesn't win.
It's great to help with his counting and number recognition on the dice. You have to use two dice so he loves that too and he has the rules better than anyone else so he is great at telling everyone what it is they need to do. In fact it was so good that on playing with his grandparents they immediately went and bought it to take to their other grandchildren at a visit the following week! Highly Recommended
