Dora will greet you and you'll hear the Bingo tune.
• Decide which items you'd like to match for this game:
Match the colors of the Stars (red side of card) or
Match Dora's animal friends (blue side of card)
• Dora will say, "Put in your Backpack Card." Insert the Backpack Card into
the slot at the top of the unit so it's aligned with the lights. Dora knows
which way it's facing so she knows whether to call out colors of the Stars
or types of animals.
• Each player should get his own Game Card and orient it properly. Dora will
help! She'll say, "Turn your Game Card blue side up" for animal matching or
"Turn your Game Card red side up" for color matching.

the tray for all players to choose from.
• Finally, Dora will say, "Press Play to start." Dora is now ready to guide the way
as you play!
Let's Play! Come on... ¡Vamos!
• When the player presses Play, Dora will call out either a color or an animal in
both English and Spanish, depending on which side of the Backpack card
you're playing. For example, "Do you have the Star that is blue? ¿Azul?" Or,
"Do you have the frog? ¿La rana?"
• You'll see the lights dance around, flash and hear the music play. Then, a
light will land on the item that Dora just called.
• If you did not hear what Dora said, simply press the Repeat button. Listen
and look: you'll hear the item again and see its light flash.
• If the player has not pressed the Play button within one minute after the last
button was pressed, Dora will remind you that she wants to keep playing! Do
you? If not, and no button is pressed for another two minutes, Dora and

their Game Card. Now it's time to press the Bingo button. Dora will
