Title: The Backwards Word Game

Summary:

Someone says a word pronouncing it backwards.  The other person guesses what the word is.  For example, if you say "T-A-B" the answer would be "Bat".  This is a great game for kids to learn what letters make what sounds and gives them practice imagining the word in their heads and reading it back.

Recommended Age: 4-6

What you will need:

• Nothing! 
  

Instructions:

1. Take turns who is the speaker and who is the interpretor.  If you have a more than 2 people playing, go around in a circle with the last interpretor switching to speaker.
   
2. You can stick to 1 syllable words for younger kids and move up to multiple syllables gradually.
