How to Play

Get ready to make words like a pro! Our fun and fast-paced literacy game has four exciting ways to play. Race to spell in game one, grab the word in game two, pick a pair in game three, and make a match in game four. Let the fun of word recognition and literacy skills begin!

Race to Spell: Looking for a fun and engaging way to improve your spelling skills? Simply set the timer, and see how quickly you can find the letters to spell your word; but watch out for the whirlwind tile and get ready to adapt! If it appears, quickly pass your board to the player on your left and keep searching for letters to spell the new word in front of you until the sand timer runs out. If you find all the letters to spell your word before the time runs out shout “Buzz Word” and quicky brush the picture disc and letters on your board to one side ready for your next word! It’s a fun and fast-paced game that will keep everyone on their toes!

Grab the Word: To win the card, simply be the first to spot the matching word, then shout “Buzz Word” as you place your hand on it! The player with the most pairs of words and matching pictures at the end of the game wins! So, keep your eyes peeled and your reflexes sharp to come out on top!

Pick a Pair: To start the game, separate the picture discs and word cards. As you turn over the cards, shout “Buzz Words” if you find a match! Move the pair in front of you to keep track. The player with the most pairs at the end wins. Enjoy the game!

Make a Match: To play the game, cover the circles with picture discs, picture side up. Flip a word card and shout “Buzz Word” if it matches your picture. Place the word on top of the matching disc. The winner is the first to cover all their picture cards with matching words and shout “Buzz Word”!
