Alphabet Memory
- Pre-K–Kindergarten
- Ages 3–6
- Free, no sign-up
A memory game with a learning twist: each letter card matches a picture card, like B and ball or Z and zebra. Every card speaks when it flips, and every match is cheered with "B is for ball!" so children link letters to beginning sounds.
About the game
| Decks | 8: A–F, G–L, M–R, S–X, U–Z, then mixed decks |
|---|---|
| Cards | 6 pairs a game |
| Reading needed | None. Every card is spoken |
| Sign-up | None. Stars are saved on your device |
How to play
- Pick a deck. Start with A to F.
- Flip two cards. Listen to what each card says.
- Match a letter and a picture. B goes with ball because ball starts with B.
- Find all 6 pairs. Finish in 10 flips or fewer for three stars.
For parents: what Alphabet Memory practices
Alphabet Memory connects each letter to a word that begins with it, building letter names and beginning sounds. Later decks mix capital and lowercase letters. It pairs with:
Common Core: RF.K.1d (name upper- and lowercase letters), RF.K.3a (letter-sound correspondence).
Getting the most out of it
- Say the letter's sound after each match: B, /b/, ball.
- Think of a second word for each letter together.
- Play the U to Z deck: those letters get less practice.
Games are best as a reward or a warm-up, not the main lesson. Ten minutes of play after a short lesson works better than an hour of play on its own.

Questions parents ask
Why does X go with x-ray?
Very few words start with x, so we use x-ray. You can also talk about words that end in x, like box and fox.
Which deck is hardest?
The small-letter deck, because b, d, p and q look alike.
Is this game free?
Yes. Every game on English1to5 is free, with no ads, no sign-up and no in-game purchases.
