Educational Insights Alpha Catch Review & Giveaway

I am so excited about today's Educational Review & Giveaway product - Alpha Catch. It's a fun, action packed, fast-paced game that helps kids practice their phonemic awareness!

The Lil Divas LOVE this game and have been requesting we play it numerous times a day.

What's in the Box?

You will receive 4 sticky catcher's mitts, 26 self-stick alphabet balls with upper and lower case letters and a teacher's guide  

How to Play

Kids toss and catch the self-stick alphabet balls with the sticky catcher's mitts while playing fun phonics games about the letters depicted on each ball they catch.

There are lots of fun ways you can play with Alpha Catch! You can have kids practice their letter recognition and phonemic awareness skills in so many fun ways!


Letter Recognition - identify the letter they catch 
Phonemic Awareness - identify the sound of the letter they catch
Initial Letter Sounds - say a word that begins with the letter sound 
Final Letter Sounds - say a word that ends with the letter sound 
Medial Letter Sounds - say a word with the letter sound in the middle
Word Play - catch numerous balls and try to form a word


For a fun challenge you can have kids do ALL of the above! 

Our Thoughts

This game has been a huge hit in our home. Both Lil Divas really enjoy playing with it and coming up with new words for the letters. They play with me, their father and alone! 

We have lots of missed balls and giggles intertwined with lots of phonemic awareness fun. It's fun to see if the Oldest Diva can make any words out of all of their missed balls. She really enjoys scurrying around, gathering the letter balls and trying to form a word. This is still a bit challenging for her but it's great practice and she has FUN trying to do it. 

I LOVE that the Lil Divas have so much fun with this game and don't even realize they are LEARNING and building skills that are crucial for reading!
