This engaging resource aims to provide students with the opportunity to decode words and demonstrate their understanding by matching it to a picture - all whilst battling their friend! There are ten game sets included in this resource, with 2 game boards and corresponding word cards included in each set.

The aim of the game is as follows:

Students take it in turns to pick up a word card from the pile. If they find a matching picture, they cover it. If they don’t find a matching picture, they'll need to put the card on the bottom of the pile. The first person to cover their board wins!
