Guide Review - Pegs in the Park

Pegs in the Park is an educational early learning game for ages 4 to 8. Each player has their own peg and their own track to play on. Cards are drawn to determine the number of spaces moved. A plus card moves the pieces forward and minus cards move the pieces backwards. The first player to reach the ice cream truck wins the game. Children will practice counting, learn the concept of forward and backward, understand plus (+) and minus (-), along with developing small motor skills and eye-hand coordination. The game was fun to play and held the interest of the children. It is a delightful game.
