Nature / Type: Card game
Who would love this: Fans of "Little People, BIG DREAMS" series + anyone who enjoys Go-Fish.
I’m a huge fan of the inspiring Little People, BIG DREAMS biography series and all the games based on the books — from double-sided jigsaws to bingo and memory games, I love them all! So I was thrilled to add another to my collection: Dream Team – A Go-Fish Game from Kaddo, an imprint of Quarto.
Why I love ❤️ it:
(1) Go-Fish Game With A Real-Life Heroes Twist
It’s the classic Go Fish game — but with a brilliant twist: inspiring real-life heroes from the Little People, BIG DREAMS series! Players collect sets of cards based on fields like Scientist, Sports Star, or Activist, by asking each other for group categories (e.g. “Do you have a Scientist?”). If not, it’s time to “go fish”! Each group has four icons — like the “Creative” set featuring Mozart, David Bowie, Van Gogh, and Yayoi Kusama. With 36 cards across 9 themed sets, it’s a fun, family-friendly way to discover amazing role models while enjoying a familiar game with a fresh twist.
(2) Characters From Wide Range Of Fields & Eras
I love how the game represents a wide range of fields, eras, and genders. Take the “Writers” group: from modern poet Amanda Gorman to Victorian novelist Charles Dickens, feminist icon Gloria Steinem, and the legendary Jane Austen. The “Sports Stars” set is just as exciting, with Megan Rapinoe, Pelé, tennis great Evonne Goolagong, and track star Jesse Owens. While basic reading helps with identifying card groups, younger players can also use the colour-coded cards — like green for Sports — to join the fun.
(3) Booklet Full Of Fun Facts
The game also comes with a booklet full of fascinating facts about the people on the cards, adding an educational twist to the fun. We loved learning how Marie Curie became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. We read about David Attenborough’s passion for nature and how he brought the wonders of the wild to the world, and Harriet Tubman’s courageous escape from slavery — then guiding hundreds to freedom through the Underground Railroad.
(4) Compact Design & Game Options
I love the clever, compact design — especially the elegant push-out tray that holds the cards and booklet so neatly. The booklet also suggests other fun games to try with the cards, like “Spoons” and “Kemps,” adding even more ways to play and enjoy.
