Two fun Orchard Toys games!Nutty Numbers - Build a path for your squirrel and race to collect the most acorns, in this fun counting game!Players take in turns rolling the dice, and pick up cards with the matching number, before adding them to their path. If a player turns over a squirrel picnic card, the matching coloured squirrel has collected enough acorns and their adventure ends. Once all players have ended their path, they count up the acorns on their path - the player with the most acorns is the winner!Match and Spell - Match letter cards to the pictures on the boards to spell words in this fun literacy game.Encourages letter recognition, teaches phonetic word building and promotes matching of pictures and words, from simple words like 'cat' to more complex four-letter words. There are two ways to play, and the game is designed for both guided and independent word-building.In the first version of the game, players must match the letter cards to the letters shown on their board in the correct order to build a word. This is a simple matching game, which is a great way to introduce letter shapes and sounds. As children get more familiar with the letter sounds, they will progress to reading the words out loud. In the more challenging version of the game, players use the blank side of their boards and use the letter cards to build the word of the picture shown. These must be placed in the correct order.This game has been designed to introduce children to spelling a range of first words. It is not a full alphabet game and therefore does not include all letters of the alphabet.
