http://www.hasbro.com/games/cranium/browse.cfm?page=&product_id=21399I could explain how it's played but we don't really play by the rules. It's an openended game, easily adapteed to what your child's needs are. It was recomended by Lydia's Speech pathologist. I ask her to say a word on a card (provided by the speech program) and then she gets to use the magic key to open a box. If she finds a ball, she takes it out and puts it in the hole and when all the balls are found, the treasure chest pops open. She loves the game so much, she'll even play it on her own.
I just picked these ones up for Christmas gifts-
Put the puzzle together and use the game cards to search for differnt objects. Circle the found objects with a dry erase marker. I picked this up at Winners for $6.99. I like that it's a prereading game and leads them to read by using cues. I'm not sure if it's readily available as it's not on the Cranium site but Amazon still carries it.
I also found Talking Tracks Monkey Safari http://www.hasbro.com/games/cranium/browse.cfm?page=&product_id=21501
Again at Winners for $5.99.
More big hits with preschoolers- Hullaballo dvd game by Cranium. We have the original one as well but I find it hard to hear so when I found the DVD version for $5 last year at Walmart, I told everyone I knew. We often use it at church with an extra set. It's a great moving game.
I used to sell Discovery Toys and Playful Patterns is a great game for so many reasons. https://www.discoverytoyslink.com/ecommerce/control/product?PURCHASE_STATE=STANDARD&product_id=2930 As well as Games to Grow on and Oh Rats.

They're not available from Discovery Toys anymore but if you know a consultant or check Ebay and Amazon, you might luck out.
