Imaginative play is essential for young children, enabling them to experiment and test out different scenarios in a safe environment.
In Times Tables Heroes, children must use their imagination to help their superhero character defeat a series of villainous unicorns, zombies, and slugs.
Multiplication in Action
Times Tables Heroes is a maths game designed to help parents and children prepare for the multiplication tables check (MTC), which is compulsory nationwide in primary schools for children in Year 4.
Both games are especially helpful for encouraging children to recall their times tables quickly.
Personal Development
Personal and social skills are developed through turn-taking, sharing, and communicating in small groups. Playing games with multiple players teaches children to work together, share ideas and develop positive relationships.
Both games help children recognise and understand the rules of being and playing together, from waiting for a turn to passing a dice and sharing a card.

Great as an introduction to timetables 2, 5, 10
My little one was lacking confidence with his times tables so we bought this game as a fun way to learn without putting to much pressure on him. He loves it and it is now his game of choice. He enjoys filliping over the pancakes to check his answer and the game really appealed to his learning style and helped him to grasp the concept of multiplication. The game recommends that you only play for 10 minutes which I think is a sensible recommendation. Works for 2, 5 and 10 times table and a great little introduction to timetables if you are at the start of that journey, this would be too easy for those who are already confident with the concept of multiplication.As usual Orchard toys are high quality and illustrated beautifully with kids in mind. The addition of their app for timers and instruction was also a lovely step.

A fun way to learn your times tables and develop your imagination
Brilliant game to help you learn your times tables and develop your creativity.

Clever, son loves it
The genius of this is it persuades the child to practice the times tables but only as a means to an end, the more exciting bit to the child is how to prevent the disasters and save the city, and they get to make up stories about that when they land in the right place.Really good. For younger children I strongly suggest that if they donât know the answer you let them look it up and progress (not miss a turn as the game suggests). They learn faster looking up answers and will just dislike the game if they feel punished.

Great game

Brilliant game for times tables fun
Love that there are two different games in one. We loved the superhero game and really like the differentiation so we can practise 2/5/10 x tables or all tables! Perfect! We also love that there is the checker tool so little one can feel confident in checking her answers and is already remembering ones she has checked before. The second game is bingo and again the different ability levels make this a really adaptable game. We love it!

Very Good
Bought for my children who were 4 and 6 at the time. This game is an introduction to 2, 5 and 10 times tables. To play, you need to spin a wheel and pick a flavour of pancake depending on where the wheel lands. You then answer the sum on the pancake and flip it with a spatula to see if your answer is correct.The kids loved this game, mainly for the pancake flipping element! The pieces are sturdy and good quality and I like that it is both fun and educational. I would recommend it and would buy again to give as a gift.

Easy to play for all ages
The game is enjoyable for age 7 to adult alike. The two spinning wheels allow the tough questions to go to the older kids and the easier times tables to go to the younger.Our daughter has Autism so doesn’t concentrate on things very often but loved playing this game. The bit of story telling and imaginative play is a fun add on

Great entertainment and educational
Perfect entertainment for the summer holidays to prepare for multiplication next year 3rd class. The characters and whacky shield cards make for a fun game. Not only are there two difficulty levels, (multiplication by 2, 5, 10 OR by all numbers between 1-12 with further option to look up the solution using the chart), but the kids also get to practice their story crafting skills – when it comes to the shield cards, they need to think up what disaster befell the city and how their hero (Smart Lama, Time Tiger, Fast Rabbit or Mighty Bull) defeats the enemy/ averts the disaster. Just brilliant! My 8 year old loves it. It would make a great game for the classroom too, I think. One of the best we’ve had from Orchard Toys.

Ottimo acquisto. I bimbi imparano le tabelline divertendosi.

Trae sólo tres o cuatro tablas de multiplicar, sólo vais a poder trabajar con esas. Se trata de ir girando una ruleta y viendo qué ingrediente toca, para después resolver la multiplicación que aparece en cada uno de los ingredientes, los cuales servirán para “decorar tu tortita”. Es una forma lúdica de enseñar a los niños a multiplicar, recomiendo que al principio se usen materiales fÃsicos para demostrar cómo se hacen las multiplicaciones (garbanzos, contadores…). Viene con unas regletas donde aparecen las tres o cuatro tablas que se trabajan en el juego. Importante: sà trae instrucciones en español.

My grand children enjoy playing with this fun game and itâs educational too. Good quality product.

We brought this for a great price and whilst we havent played it I have opened it up and read over the instructions and looked over the pieces and it looks great for my daughter who is 7 years and looking to advance her maths a bit at home without being too complicated and it has double play side which is great too. I think its great value for money and is suited for more younger kids but will grow with us for awhile.
