The LUK system originated in Germany 40 years ago. LUK comes
from “LÜK” in German which was abbreviated for Learning, Practicing and Checking.
It is designed for children to play and learn at the same time.
Back in 1968, the inventor and author Mr. Heinz Vogel originally
developed the LUK learning game with 24 small tiles for children
with learning difficulties. By popular demand, the smaller 12-tile
version was redesigned to be used in regular preschools, kindergartens
and primary schools. At the end of the 80's, a picture based miniLUK
was introduced to meet the needs of those children who could not
read numbers. In 1994 the miniLUK controller with a transparent
top was created. All tiles are placed in one handy case with no
more loose tiles. Since it was so successful and effective, the
bambinoLUK was introduced in 2002 for younger children ages 3 to
5 years old. bambinoLUK features 6 larger tiles with easily recognized
symbols along with workbooks' combining high interesting contents
and attractive illustrations.
In the last 40 years, this system has been continually improved
by updating contents as changes in society occurred. Because of
its effectiveness in children's intellectual development, LUK systems
have been translated into 16 different languages and made available
for parents and educators in 50 countries.
