ABC Spot Me Game

This is one of the few games we’ve seen that’s appropriate for beginning spellers. It helps emerging readers match phonetic sounds to letters and is simple but fun and fast-paced. The set-up is straightforward: place sixty icon tiles (tiles with objects depicted on them) face up on the game table, within easy reach of all players. Shuffle the twenty-six ABC cards and place the deck facedown. As the alphabet cards are turned over, players try to find the icon tile that begins with that letter. The player who collects the most tiles is the winner. This is a game that can be played several different ways and according to flexible rules; suggestions are included in the instruction booklet. Sixty icon tiles, twenty-six ABC cards, fabric bag for easy storage, and instructions. Ages five and up; two or more players.
