Instructions on how to play included as well as a cover for your Jar for easy storage.
Students take turns to pull out a sound/word card. If they say the word or sound out the letter correctly, they can keep the card. If a player pulls the “pop!” card, they need to put all of their cards back into the jar.
The winner is either the person who has the most cards at the end of a timer for a timed game or if there are no cards left in the jar.
Enjoy and have fun! :)
