How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
Beat the Turtle Bingo (Tell The Time) encourages children to engage in play-based learning as they match digital and analogue clock times. This interactive game fosters inquiry as children explore concepts of time in a fun and engaging manner, allowing them to develop their understanding through hands-on experience.

Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
The game supports the development of early STEM skills by providing opportunities for children to recognise patterns and make connections between different representations of time. As they play, children enhance their problem-solving abilities by strategising how to complete their bingo boards while reinforcing their number recognition skills.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes
