- Place all the cards on a flat surface facing down. Put all the white cards on one side and all the blue cards on another side.
- Turn over a blue card, this will be a letter of the alphabet. For example, A. Say this letter out loud correctly.
- Now turn over a white card, this will be a word. For example, monkey. Say this word out loud correctly. The word on the white card should start with the letter on the blue card. In this case, this is incorrect. Monkey starts with M, not A. So if this is incorrect, turn over the white card and find another one.
