The Woopie pocket game brings back classic video games: falling bricks have to be stacked into full rows, and the console fits in a pocket or backpack.

This electronic brick game is a compact retro handheld with one of the best-loved logic games. Bricks fall from the top and the player turns and moves them to complete whole rows. The longer you play, the faster it gets. Simple classic buttons make it easy to control, even for younger players. The console is small, so it can come along on long trips, in queues or at school break. Children enjoy it, and parents are reminded of the games of their own childhood.

What your child develops

• Reflexes. Decisions are made while the brick is falling.
• Logical thinking. Your child plans where to put the next shape.
• Spatial awareness. Shapes have to be turned to fit.
• Concentration. The game needs full attention.

How to play

Start at the slowest speed and show how to turn a brick before dropping it. When a full row disappears, your child sees the result right away.

As a family, compete for the best score and note the records on a piece of paper.
