 Kids Dig This GameMar 01, 2008
By Sherry Y. Artemenko
As a speech pathologist at Play on Words, I am always looking for good games to encourage language. Kids three years and up want a little challenge in their games--not everything left to chance! Diggity Dog is their first pick for fun. Choose your puppy and press the doghouse to listen for the number of barks. Count them out as you land on a space, dig a hole and the little bone sticks to your dog's magnetic nose. See if the color on the underside of the bone matches your dog and collect all three before heading home to win. There's just enough action to keep little hands busy and skill required to keep minds churning. Playing Diggity Dog involves auditory memory (remembering the number of barks), visual memory (remembering where your colored bones are), counting, and conversation negotiating turn-taking and discussing strategy. These are all skills that contribute to language development.

 Fun Game but Expensive BatteriesJan 12, 2008
By Mom of 4
My youngest kids (age 3 & 5) really enjoy this game. The barking dog instead of dice is a fun gimmic (along the lines of the popping dice from the old Trouble game.) One thing to note, though, is that the dog takes three watch batteries. After having the game 4-5 months, we had to pay more than $[...] to replace the three batteries to keep the dog going. If he runs out again, we will just use dice.

My 3 yr. old daughter loves it!Jan 14, 2008
By FL Mom
My 3 year old daughter loves this game. It does have small pieces that would be a choking hazard for smaller children, so we play when her younger brother is napping. Just for BIG kids, she loves it. She can set up the game by herself, which means opening up the board and placing one magnetic bone on each little dirt pile. You push the dog house in the middle of the board and listen for 1, 2, or 3 barks, and then move your dog the right number of spaces. Then you use your dog's nose to pick up the magnetic bone on that spot (if there is one) and put in a dog's house according to the color on the underside of the bone. It helps with counting some, but mostly with taking turns and learning how to win and lose. I think kids get a big kick out of how the dogs can pick up the bones (thanks to magnets)! Enjoy!

Diggity Dog is a hitDec 27, 2007
By deano
"tsoupow"
Diggity Dog was a hit with our three children 5, 4 and 2. All three were able to play as there wasn't any reading involved. The baby didn't last as long as the older two but everyone enjoyed the game. The only drawback is that the little bones are small and can be lost. Regardless I would buy this toy again.

Fun game for all!Jun 19, 2010
By ABQ Mom
My 3 and 5 year old LOVE this game. They especially love the barking feature for how many moves they get. I like that feature as well because it really teaches them to listen in order to know what they do next. They enjoy the different color dogs and the magnetic noses to find the correct color bone. The only piece they are still trying to figure out is choosing which direction to move around the board. Most games have one direction, but this game allows you to move in either direction. Another fun twist! They have been playing this every day since they got it, so I'm sure they will have it down in no time. Lots of fun and I highly recommend!
