A fun and engaging activity for young children, whilst assessing their progress and knowledge and challenging them at the same time.

To challenge the children even more and also adding a bit of a twist, the letter cards aren’t always the initial sounds of the pictures, thus, the letter ‘O’ might lead children to a snail!
