Get ready to move your body, exercise your brain and build reading skills with ZactivSounds. A unique, screen-free card game for children 4+. It combines physical activity with early reading skills.

Created by Zack George, aka Steel the Gladiator, from Zactiv, and the teacher-led Phonics experts at Soundlings. ZactivSounds brings movement and Phonics together in a fun, interactive game for 2-6 players. Children take it in turns to demonstrate fun exercises linked to initial sounds, while the other players watch, identify the sounds and use them to build words.

The first player with no cards left, will become the ZactivSounds Champion!

As they play, children develop important early reading skills including sound recognition, listening, attention, memory, blending and segmenting, all while keeping active. ZactivSounds uses the sounds of the alphabet, making it simple for parents, siblings and friends to join in.
