Product Description
Product Description
This very simple lotto game will help very young children to recognize letters of the alphabet and the sounds they make. It can be played by up to 5 players. Each player takes a lotto board, and players must decide whether they all play with the letter or picture sides of the boards. All the letter or picture cards are placed face down on the table, and players take it in turns to pick up one of the cards, which they show the other players. If the card matches one of the pictures or letters on their lotto board, they cover it with the card. If not, the card is returned, face down, to the table. The winner is the first player to cover all the spaces on their lotto board. There are 4 versions of the game; players can choose to match picture cards to the picture lotto boards, or letter cards to the letter lotto boards. Or, to make it slightly harder, they can try to match the picture cards to the corresponding letter boards, or match letter cards to the corresponding picture boards. Although this game is ideal for children aged 3 and over, even younger children will enjoy being helped to match the pictures. You can also ask children to find a card with a fish on, or a card with something red on it, or a card with the letter 's'. The letter cards can be used to spell out words as well, so there are many opportunities for extra play value. Children will have so much fun with this game, yet they won't realise that they are learning at the same time.

My 3 year old daughter loves this game. We saw it in a shop and she wanted it and I saw that it was slightly cheaper on Amazon so decided to buy it here. She absolutely loves matching the pictures and initial letters and blends in this simple game of alphabet lotto. Like bingo, children have to compete to see who fills their 'bingo' card first by matching pictures and inital letters of the associated word. My wife and I play with my 3 year old daughter and while it doesn't exactly excite or enthuse us as parents to play, my daughter absolutely loves it and seeing her smile as she plays and enjoys it is all worth it.
My daughter has been learning phonics at home and this game reinforces those basic sounds in a game situation without her realising that she is acutally learning! The game cards and pieces are durable and not flimsy at all. It would be suitable for all children learning their letter and initial blend sounds but would be too simple for any children who are beyond this stage of development in reading. Highly recommended for its educational value and support of any phonics learning going on at home.

This is another winner from the range. Colourful, fun, strong - built to last. I play this with my grandson who is 3. I think it is very helpful for him to increase his memory and recognition skills.

I bought this for my 3 year old grandson and was so pleased with the simplicity, and yet feel it is the most powerful alphabet tool I have seen for a while.
The pieces are colourful, durable and the usual excellent quality I have come to expect from all Orchard Toy products. It makes learning the alphabet interesting and my grandson loves it. The five boards have two sides, one showing colourful pictures and the other side just showing letters, so four ways to play. You can either match the picture on the card with the corresponding picture, letter with corresponding letter, or even mix them up, matching picture with the letter it begins with, or putting the correct picture with the sound it begins with. All this with your child in the play mode, whilst all the time teaching them the letters of the alphabet.
Yet another brilliant idea by Orchard Toys and excellent value for money. This game will keep children's interest for a long time.
