A classic child’s counting game for over 50 years! In the early 1960’s, Hi-Ho! Cherry-O was teaching young children counting, addition and subtraction. Two to four cherry-pickers join in the game, each starting with a tree full of ten plastic cherries and an empty bucket. A flick of the spinner will net you 1, 2, 3 or 4 cherries to add to your basket, but watch out! Spinning a dog, bird, or spilled bucket can quickly empty a bucket. When one lucky player fills the bucket with all ten cherries, a shout of “Hi-Ho! Cherry-O” lets everyone know who has won the round. Hi-Ho! Cherry-O makes learning as easy as 1,2,3!

This fit the bill and is superfun, the kids love the anticipation of “spilling the barrel” and look forward to spilling it more than winning, exactly what I needed for a 3 and 4 year old, they don’t care who wins.

A classic game with one minor defect I got this version of High Ho Cherry because it is like the one I was accustomed to growing up. The only disappointment is that the spinner is very cheaply made and the cardboard is bowed in the middle so the spinner does not work very well.
Such a great, classic game for teacher my preschool students about … Such a great, classic game for teacher my preschool students about counting and learning the basics of cooperative games. I have memories of playing this as a child and love that I found this classic version for my own classroom. Be aware that that cherry pieces are small, so keep them out of reach of younger children. I play this game with my older preschool students (4-yr olds), and they never tire of it!
