ABC game

ABC game uses pictures to help children connect written words with familiar objects. This nau.kids version presents a word and a choice of images, turning recognition into a simple selection activity. In its illustrated explanation, the word “juice” appears above pictures of an umbrella, a drink and an apple, showing the kind of association the player needs to make.

Match the whole word to the picture

Use a mouse click or a touch selection on the corresponding image. Look at the word first, then compare all the pictures before choosing. Saying the object names aloud can help a child connect the letters on the board with the things they recognize in the illustrations.

The activity is about the complete word-and-picture relationship. Do not assume that recognizing the first letter is always enough to decide between possible answers. Take a moment to read the remaining letters and check that the chosen picture represents the word actually shown.

Turn a choice into a learning moment

An adult can ask the child to name each picture before selecting one, then explain why the other images belong to different words. Keep the explanation short enough that the next choice still feels like play. If a word is unfamiliar, use the illustration to introduce it and return attention to its written form.
