We own several of Sesame Street's counting videos, but this one is by far the best. My daughter enjoys the "video game" - type format (Elmo and Telly are trapped inside a video game and have to work their way to 20 to get out), but I like that the number focus does not stop at 10, as is the case for many preschool videos.

As a teacher, this video would be good for students who need number recognition reinforcement or for English Language Learners.

A Great Numbers VideoFeb 14, 2000

This is the only numbers/counting video that has consistently held my 2 year old's attention. It's frequently requested and has helped her learn numbers. MUCH better than "1-2-3, count with me" or "learning about numbers" : both of these sesame street videos spend more time on "plot", and my 2 year old always loses interest well before the end. Not the case with "The Great Numbers Game", which is jam-packed with cool number cartoons and plenty of lively counting sequences.

No plot -- hastily thrown together skitsJan 27, 2002
By KNSudha
The 123 Count With Me video starring Ernie is much better done, with lots of muppet acting and takes the numbers to only 15, but with a personal touch. That video totals upto 45 minutes of enjoyment for parents and toddler. This video on the other hand features all of 2 minutes of Elmo, Telly, Gabi and another child. There is not coherent plot -- i.e. while they start off with a video game premise, they just throw together all of the skits on numbers, and never have the muppets appear to actually lead in each script. After a while of random skits on half the numbers, Elmo or Telly makes a brief aimless appearance. And even stranger, there is an unexplained scary cookie chasing them. This approach quickly turns off both the parents and the toddlers who wait for glimpses of their favorite characters. Pass on it. AND the DVD version is made without any extras, such as subtitles, or sing-alongs etc.

This one is great!Nov 27, 2001

My daughter loves this video. Watching Sesame Street has helped her to learn the alphabet and the numbers 1-10. This video is especially helpful because it has skits about the different numbers from 1-20 (we're working on learning 11-20). My daughter loves Elmo and Telly who are both in this video. My husband and I don't mind this video (some of them get to be too much after awhile). My daughter is 18 months old and I'm sure we'll be watching this video for months to come.

We love THIS VIDEO!Aug 29, 2005
By D. Lane "Book lover"
The Great Numbers Game has great catching tunes that get your toddler & preschoolers to learn to count from 1-20 in no time flat. I really don't understand the complates about this video having no plot. This vidoe is made for toddlers and preschoolers not school age kids. I'm a home daycare provider. My toddlers and preschoolers love to sing along to this video. I love watching the old cartoons that I watched as a child.
