Teaching and fu
I bought this for my gt.grandaughter who is 3 and can already spell her name so it was for teaching her to spell other things and have fu
Great fun and my 5 year old Grandson loves it.
Great activity for learning to spell, My Grandson really enjoyed this game.
Great Game
Brought for my grandson who loves it. Fun way to learn. Arrived on time.
Fantastic
A great & fun way to practise kids’ spelling and reading. You know that an activity works if the child has an amazing time, learning without realising it – this fits the bill perfectly.
Lovely educational gif
Bought for granddaughter for Christmas and she loves it. She is 3 and interested in letters and matching sounds.
Fantastic learning game - must buy
Fantastic learning game! Very happy with the price and delivery.

Great for spelling, phonics and confidence building

Great learning tool! Easy to use! Can re-use again and again! Great for spelling and sound recognitio
Great produc
My daughter hates sitting down and being stuck in front of a book for homework, this item is a great way to make learning more fun.
Educational
Brilliant educational games. My granddaughter loves to play with them and is learning so much through play. I have a number of these games/ puzzles and she loves them all
Kids love i
Liked it a lot. Grandson plays with it every visit and keeps us entertained.
Great game for letter recognitio
My just-turned 4 year old loves this game, and it’s a great game for letter recognition and simple spellings. We amend the rules of play somewhat for speed/simplicity, and a round takes about 15 minutes which is about as long as he’s interested in one game.
Grea
Great for my 3 year old grandson he has been spelling for a little while and these really helped with putting the letters together.
Good quality
Good quality, big enough letters for small fingers, bright pictures. But after playing with it twice my 5 years old daughter found it too easy and didn’t want to play it anymore. I guess it’s good as she learnt things from i
Good value
Great size plenty of items to play with and helps my boy learn to spell and distinguish between letters
Great learning game
Was used during lockdown homeschooling with our 4 and 5 year old. A few ways to Play this so it kept everyone entertained for a while.
Easy to use card game
Easy to use and set up.Only little niggle no y in the lettering makes for not much other than what is in the pack
Love i
It came well packaged and the kids love this. They have already improved in their reading and I would highly recommend it. We already had the match and spell and now the next steps adds a bit to the difficulty but in a fun way.
Very good
Very good to teach and learn.we like it so much.
Educational and 4 year old nephew loves them
Brought this for my 4 year old nephew as a fun way to do some learning at home. He absolutely loves them and doesn’t realise he is learning something while having fun. Made of thick card and appear very durable, easy to wipe down after sticky fingers.
Fun!
This is a great way to help children learn to spell and can practise phonic sounds. It is good there is more than one way to play this game to get children thinking.

ot too large
I bought this for my childminding setting,it has been a brilliant success.
Perfect for learning letter sounds
This is exactly what I hoped it would be! A lovely, bright, colourful, durable game! It comes with a variety of words that are easy to sound out – 12 x 3 letter words and 8 x 4 letter words. It encourages children to segment words and sound out the letters they can hear. They can then blend the letter sounds to read the word back to themselves. The letter tiles are clear and demonstrate exactly how each letter should be formed when written down. You can also add an extra dimension to this game and include a memory aspect, by turning the letter tiles face down. This is a lovely additional educational tool and encourages learning through play!
Easy learning
Good quality easy to clean easy to use present for my granddaughter and she loves i
Love i
Wonderful product to help my child learn to spell during his first year at school
Not as expected but still a great teaching tool!
We have an older 5 year old who has whizzed through this game! It wasn’t a massive challenge but it was good for practicing words, letters & phonics.
I would call it more of an aid rather than a game.
Now we are teaching from home I do get it out to make words up in parallel with the teacher.
It is a good game but for us I’d of bought it when our daughter was four.
We have a younger daughter & we will definitely use it earlier with her.
The quality of the game is as expected- brilliant!! All parts are thick enough. We’ve many of these brand of games that we’ve had years & still have many years left in them.
Excellent game.
Very good educational game. Two of my grandchildren aged 5 years and one of my grandchildren aged 4 years enjoy this learning game. They are learning to spell without realising it is educational. Both the older grandchildren want to do all the match and spell themselves.
100% recommended
It was a gift for a 5yo Spanish girl. She loved. She has improved her English vocabulary without noticing. Very entertain and easy to use and learn for children. Packing could improve with a smaller stronger box as well as the pieces’ materials. Easly wear away.
Great for learning
My four year old enjoys this game of match and spell, but I was a little disappointed they don’t use the full range of letters from the alphabet. Missing Q V Y and Z.
Maths made fu
Used to improve and help with hard to learn times table for SEN child and our six year old too. They both enjoy playing with it and it’s made learning tables fun! A win wi

My toddler enjoys this game.
A great game for a toddler to learn about letters and sounds.
Makes for a happy/fun learning!
I bought this to encourage my 4 y/o daughter with her letters and spelling which she has just started to get in to. The wonderful thing about this game is that she can do it herself and it gives her a massive boost. She needs a little help remembering the sounds and sounding out, but being able to put them together without me makes her very happy.
The game has a few different ways in which you can make the game harder once little one progresses. One side of the word has the letters shown and the other side is blank, so I challenge my daughter to remember the letters. Also it has a set of 4 letter words for when they really get the hang of sounding out and blending.
Very pleased with this!
Educational and fu
My daughter asks to play this, it’s educational and fu
Broken box !
I received this today for my son who loves learning phonics. I keep all toys in the original boxes for storage. I was gutted to see a big dent at the bottom which has clearly been dropped. The box was open and I’m not sure if things are missing. I had this years ago for my eldest child, it can be so much fun for them.
Great learning game for 3 years plus
I got this for my 3 and half year old and he really likes playing it 1 on 1, he is beginning to learn simple words and knows the letters. Just wish they would put more doubles of letters in there, we were looking for W for ages as there was only 1 in there
A great early reading and phonics experience!
This game is amazing and it’s arrived earlier than expected. My daughter loves it! As she is doing phonics at school, it came at the right time. The word cards are thick and durable; defo will last a long time. The packaging was great aswell. Am really pleased!!
Great learning game.
Perfect for little ones that are starting their phonics journey. The brightly coloured game is very appealing. My 4 year old loves it, it’s perfect for children that are starting to put sounds together to make words. There’s a couple of intended games to play but we use them for letter practice and flash cards etc. Great learning game.
Perfec
Great item perfect for my 5 year old he’s just starting to learn to read
Great for age 4-5
Great for reception age kids (4-5). My daughter segmented and blended the words to read them then matched up the correct letters to spell each word. Next step is figuring out the spellings herself using the blank side of the cards.
Great game
Brilliant game to teach kids spelling and sounds. Really helped after falling behind with reading sounds because of lockdow
Good game
As with all Orchard Toys, this game is very well made, strong box, colourful, fun educational game
Good Quality Activity
I like the thickness of the cardboaord pieces, I can see this lasting well. This has been a good independent activity for my class to do as an early finisher, whilst I am teaching. One side of the word has the sounds and the other has none, so there are two levels to this activity. The only downside is that I am missing some letters.
Amazing
Absolutely amazing for kids who learn how to read. Highly recommend.
Great game
This game is something daughter just loves.
Great for learning
Great fun for the kids and adults
Fun way of learning
Great and educational toy
I purchased this toy for a gift and the little boy who is 3 and a half has fun playing it. He knows the alphabet and he enjoyed matching and spelling the words.
Home schooling
My granddaughter was struggling with her spelling so I bought this for her. Making it fun got her interested and she enjoys using this. Good selection of words
Excellent!
Hours of fun for my four year old. Been played with every day since it arrived. Delighted!
Good fun and educational.
I bought this for my 3 year old granddaughter and she loves it. Because of the different ways to use the cards my 8 year old grandson can play too without finding it too “babyish”.
Lots of fu
I bought this for my grandsons 3rd birthday. He knows his alphabet and I think this will keep him amused. It’s not his birthday yet so I can’t say much more, but it got to Australia from Scotland in one piece so seems to be sturdy enough.
Arrived Fas
Enjoyed playing this game with my daughter as a way to break up our more formal learning time.
Pieces missing
We purchased this for my granddaughter and unfortunately some letters were missing so she is unable to play the game properly. I will be contacting Amazon.
Good Educational Toy
Bought this for my grandson for Christmas and he loves it, a bit of learning as well as play.
Brillant produc
My Little boy has development delay and this has helped so much. While his speech is delayed, he knows his letters and numbers, so I’m trying to move to the next step with spelling and sounding out letters. The product is sturdy and he really enjoys looking for the letters, while learning lower case. I would recomment this product.
So easy to remembe
So easy to remember the words. My child is 2 years old.
Great for phonics
Lots of different sounds on the cards. Great practice for my little girl who gets excited to see them and wants to learn with them.
Keeps em occupied
Bought for my god daughter she loves it thank you
Grea
Bought for my 4 year old daughter she loves it good educational game recommend buying
Grea
As a childcare I can tell you this is a great idea to learn and play
Great learning to spell game
We are a massive Orchard Toys game fan. We must have 10 now. My son will be 4 in 2 months and is enjoying learning phonics and sounding out letters in a word. Web was his first and obvious choice…
A selection of simple 3 and 4 words to spell, with a picture clue. For beginners match the letters filled in next to picture. Rembering to say each letter and then sound it out phonetically. With some more confidence they can play the other side with just a picture board, using just the pictures and sounding out the letter to fill in the blanks.
Would definitely recommend this
Brillia
Really great game for my daughter (4years). Really helps with learning to spell and when they are a little older you can flip the cards over and spell completely on their own. Perfect!
Grea
Great toy for becoming familiar with letters and learning to spell.
very good
my child’s going to like this and it will help and learn my child to spell
Brilliant!
This was a fantastic purchase – great value for money. Bought for my 4 year old who is learning phonics and blending sounds. Good idea to have letters on one side and blank on the other – highly recommended and have bought as a gift also.
Good educational toy but takes a while..
My eldest likes it but loses interest quite quickly.
We have quite a lot of toys from them but this one they don’t really use as much.
However I see the benefit of it, but this one wasn’t thier favourite.
Good for little ones
Nice quality, and looks good. Not really sure it’s a game though. You just place the letters over the words and it’s very simple. My 3 year old does it in seconds. It’s good for starting conversations and learning to read but not a game and not really for anyone over the age of 5.
Great present idea! Fun way of learning phonics
Fab game to help your child with their phonics, great for FS2 stage (5 yr olds), however it’s a shame not all letters are included as you could play further with your child as a great opportunity to explore learning phonics when they are engaged in a fun way. Other than that, would make a great bday gift for 4/5/6 yr olds.
Brilliant!
My 3 year old loves it. Good quality, great fun and educational.
Perfect for home schooling during lockdow
I didn’t know they did another of these games so i was happy to find this one. My 5yr old loves it and it helps him with phonics and spelling. Lockdown perfect.
Brillia
This game is amazing. So many ways to play and its working for teaching the beginnings of reading. One of the best things I have ever bought.
Educational and grea
The kids love these toys and are always been played with. Durable and educational! I have purchased a number of these in the series.
Fun and quality game play
My 4 year old absolutely loves playing this game. She had a good time playing and learning the words.
Great little learning game for kids
It’s a birthday present so not seen the contents as yet, but I know orchard games are always long lasting. Super fast delivery Thank You
Very useful and helpful. Good value for money
This product is amazing. It helped me to teach my child for him to understand easily. We play like a scramble or game where it makes it easy for him to know his spellings. The material is great, value for money is worth it and good colours. I am so pleased with this and ordering one for a friends son’s birthday present.

Good produc
Being a big fan of Orchard, I purchased this game hoping to improve my 4yo reading and spelling skills. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been as useful (for us) as I though it would be. She could read, all the words so she found putting together the letters/sounds a bit too easy. The spelling part was ok for the easy words but she’s lost interest.
The game itself is really good and the cards are sturdy
Educational
This is a good product for helping children learn.. But the box we received has a d instead of a b.. So the word bus is dus.. Cannot contact Orchard toys
Apart from this one word, all other words fit well
Very good
Very good for my daughter learning to write and sound phonics.
Nice and good quality.
I received the delivery. It was wonderful. My daughter really liked it. I recommended to other people.
Really great toy to learn spelling and reading
This is great value and really sturdy. Orchard toys are great and really good for kids to play and learn. My son is learning spelling and reading and this helps with both. I’ve purchased several for gifts as it’s a fab set.
