Upper and Lowercase Match
- Pre-K–Kindergarten
- Ages 3–6
- Free, no sign-up
A memory game that pairs every capital letter with its lowercase partner. Each card says its letter when it flips, and every match is cheered with "Big B, small b!" Special decks practice the look-alikes b, d, p and q, and letters whose two forms look nothing alike, like G and g.

For parents: what Upper and Lowercase Match practices
Upper and Lowercase Match teaches children that every letter has two forms, a capital and a small letter, and builds quick recognition of both. It pairs with:
Common Core: RF.K.1d (recognize and name all upper- and lowercase letters), L.K.1a (print upper- and lowercase letters).
Getting the most out of it
- Trace each letter in the air after you match it.
- Point out letters that look the same big and small, like C c and O o.
- Save the b d p q deck for when the others are easy.
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 are some letters harder?
Letters like A a, G g and R r look very different in their two forms, and b, d, p and q are easy to mix up. Those get their own decks.
Does it need sound?
Sound helps because every card says its letter, but it still works as a matching game without it.
Is this game free?
Yes. Every game on English1to5 is free, with no ads, no sign-up and no in-game purchases.
Does the game collect any information about my child?
No. There are no accounts. Progress and scores are saved only in your browser on your own device. See our privacy policy.
