Orchard Toys Match and Spell Fun Learning Game is a wonderful way to introduce early letter and phonetic sound recognition. This super game has two ways to play as children grow in confidence. In the easier version of the game, players match the letter cards to those on the boards to spell out a word. This is aided with a bold and bright illustration. Flip the boards over to increase the challenge. The illustrations remain but now the place holders for the letter cards are blank so that players have to remember how to spell out the word.

A fun way to encourage letter recognition and matching, sounding out and word building. This set contains a mix of more simple three letter word eg “cat” steadily building to more complex four letter words. We love the friendly illustrations and the progression in this game as your child’s confidence grows. Plus, when they have mastered these sounds and words, there’s a great follow on game with more complex blends. Match and Spell Next Steps is available to buy separately.

The Orchard Toys extensive Fun Learning Games range has something for everyone! Each game comes with easy to follow instructions to get you up and playing straight away.  They are all so much fun and in addition, they incorporate so many aspects of learning –  number and counting, shapes and colour, language and literacy!
