Ting Ratz-Fatz

Zahlen und Buchstaben

Ratz Fatz is the common heading for a series of games in which the mechanism is basically the same: The components of the game are always accompanied by stories, texts and games, an adult tells or reads the stories and players sort the components or allocate them to pictures ore us it for games according to the rules provided, but also for self-invented spotting and telling games.

Ting is the product name by Haba for an interactive talking/listening pen; this pen provides sounds, information or music corresponding to an image when you touch the image with the pen.

The two games of Ting Ratz Fatz Buchstaben and Ting Ratz Fatz Zahlen now combine those two mechanisms into an interactive collection of educational games. It is also possible to use the pen without an adult narrator, as the Ting pen works as a narrator, quiz master and trainer for numbers and letters and also controls all solutions. Furthermore, the pen poses training exercises. There are four games, called Assign and name!, Sort!, Snatch up! and Look closely! The boxes also provide stickers which you apply to the playing pieces and which activate related information when touched with the pen. As in other similar system you can download for free the data files necessary for a game from the web, the pen must be acquired separately, it does not come with the games.

The Ratz Fatz game mechanisms are a given choice for using the mechanisms of the Ting pen with them, the games are proven and tested, are fun to play and masterly transport the educational content, and of course you can also play without the pen when there is someone to read, tell and explain.
