My 6-yr-old received these as a gift from her lovely Auntie who always finds the coolest toys and games. We played them for the first time while I was ill and we both really enjoyed it. My daughter is reading ahead of many of her age-group (she reads "The Faraway Tree" by Enid Blyton and similar books independently for pleasure) so they may not be suitable for all 6-yr-olds; the age on the pack is 7-up I think. I suspect that is the reason for the negative review from the 5-yr-old's Mum. Many of the words we made were unfamiliar to my daughter, so I was able to use the game to expand her vocabulary. I tended to hold back and let her "snap" words I was confident she would get and mainly claim the more unusual words.

I am helping a friend's 8-year old child improve their phonics and was looking out for something that would make it more fun but was not too expensive. I think these cards hit the spot.The pack is divided into first-half sounds (e.g. Th- , Gr-, Bl-) and second-half sounds (e.g. -ink, -ill, -ain). They are different colours so easy to sort quickly if you need to. I took on board the other review and realised that we probably wouldn't be playing the game as written. However, it took no time at all to use some of the cards to devise a simple "pairs" game where he has to match the first and last sounds to make a real word and I think it will be just as easy to make up a few other simple games based around the principles of 'Snap'

Excellent game which my (admittedly very interested in reading) 5 yr old loved. Basically you turn over cards with single phonic sounds and call out any real words that are made by the pair of cards in play.Yes, you can sometimes go a while without a match but it's a fast game so not generally a problem and you could always rig the pack beforehand if you have a particularly impatient player.Adults need to hone their poker faces before playing though as you can get some comedy/unfortunate combos (very earnest 5 yr old: " 'shat' - well that's not a word is it!!" (No dear!))

I found the maths versions of these cards to teach time, fractions and computation so good that I bought these as well. I find this a good set of cards to help students who are just mastering blending. We play the games mentioned on the back of the package: snap and a memory game.The students enjoyed these games and got practice sounding out words..

Bought as a gift for my six year old niece who seemed to enjoy it. She played happily with her four year old sister who could also start to recognise word pairings as the beginnings of words are printed a different colour to the end, indicating which bit comes first.

...but personally I love it! Words are my thing and it's great to see youngsters taking an interest in them too - for an added challenge, ask them if they can say what the word means after they call a snap.

Good card game to encourage spelling and sounding out words. Can use them as a snap game, pairs or just make up your own games! Great for home learning.

These cards are well produced, but my grandson is only 4 1/2 years - cards suitable for 7 yrs and over - so currently in the draw for future use!

Useful present for my grandchildren who are learning to read. We read while playing. Lots of opportunities to read better.

Although it says 7+ my 6 year old nephew enjoyed it and it made him think about words and what they meant. Great game.

Bought for grandson, we enjoyed as much as he did I think. Brilliant for siblings to play together and of course us!

Bought this for my granddaughter, she is a bit young for it at the moment, but her Mum helps her to understand it.
