How To Play

Set Up

Place a card in the card slot. This will hide the letters. Put the dice in front of you on the table. You can start with 3 letter words and move up to 4 letter words.

Game Play

Sound out the word and place the letter dice in the correct order.

Determining A Winner (2 player version)

When played as a 2 player game, if you correctly complete the word, keep the card. Take turns spelling out words. When all cards are gone, whoever has the most cards wins.

Advanced

Use a timer or sand timer to time the player completing the word. If they run out of time, it’s the next players turn.

Easier

Place the card face up in front of you. Match the letters as you say the letter sounds.
