Learning Made Fun
Designed for two or more players, the Funny Phone is a good indoor activity for a small group. Picking up the receiver, kids dial up a number on the built-in directory shelf. Funny Phone is ready with funny sounds, maybe a joke, and always a new challenge. Sometimes a challenge is just for the caller, but usually it's an all-play challenge. With both individual and group questions, the challenges assist in teaching language and listening skills, as well as develop logical thinking and classification skills. Interacting in a group encourages kids to develop social skills, work together, and be creative.
Nine Challenges
Kids can play with Funny Phone at a table, or on the floor. To begin, simply pass out an equal number of tokens to all the players, and have the first player pick up the phone. The Funny Phone randomly shuffles through the different types of challenges, including games like Act Fast, where players have to guess what the caller is pretending to be before time runs out, and Sing-a-ling-a-ling, where you have to sing your answer. Other activities are Dizzy Doodle, Pick a Number, Say Something, Telephone Tongue Twister, Name Game, Rhyme Time, and Mystery Music.
Made with brightly colored, durable plastic, the Funny Phone holds up to countless hours of use, and also features an automatic shut-off, adjustable volume, and a break-away safety cord on the receiver.
Not Just About Winning
The objective of the game is to be the first player with no tokens, but Funny Phone is all about the process. With its many sounds and nudges to the funny bone, the Funny Phone will have kids playing and giggling with one another -- all while they're learning important skills. The challenges, such as Mystery Music, which has kids guessing the names of familiar tunes, are too easy for older children. But for younger children, even well-worn territory is still interesting and enjoyable with the Funny Phone.

Don't Understand the bad reviews 
by .. SavvyShopper (MN, US)
I ordered this toy due to the low price and I knew my daughter would like it. I was worried about the poor reviews- that it was shoddily made and overly complicated. I disagree on both! It's my 5.5 year-old new favorite game. I only wish the questions were harder, but she doesn't seem to mind. Yes, you have to follow the steps to play the game, and listen to the phone tell you what to do, but that's a great thing to learn. My daughter didn't have any problems with that at all.
The Learning Funny Phone by .. Sharon D. Johnson ()
When I saw this item I thought it was so cute. My Grandson is only two but I wanted it so bad for him. When I found out that a lady had a child that was only one years old I knew then that I HAD TO GET ONE. I ordered it. I looked at it when it arrived and said Oh he is going to love this because it rang and it talked. I wasn't thinking about the games even tho that is a good thing. So then when I found out that it was a learning tool also then I just had to order one for my Granddaughter then I had to order some of them for my Great Grand Children. I was so upset when it turned out to be a limit of three. Then I had to try and find other places to order them and I did not like that at all because they were higher in prices. I did not care tho, because that's how bad I wanted them. Now I have them and I am very glad about it...Thanks
Funny Phone very fun! by .. LM Allcott (WESTMINSTER, CA, US)
I purchased the Funny Phone for my two grandsons ages 8 and 4. Both of them are computer saavy and love videogames. The Funny Phone is a delightful, interactive toy that liberates them from the computer and engages their own imagination and creativity.
Good fun for the kids 
by .. Working Mommy (Easton PA)
The kids age 4 and 6 loved playing with this toy. It is even more fun when they have a few friends over to play.
