Beat The Bear is played in a similar manner to traditional lotto. There will be lots of fun and excitement as the team of three children selected one card at a time from the top of the deck. If a player picks up a card that matches a 'single sound' on his/her board, it may be placed in the correct position. Be careful, each time a piece of the bear is turned over, it must be put on the bear's board. Once the picture of the bear has been completed, the race begins in earnest. The bear has now won the game, unless one of the three players can successfully complete his/her board before the remaining cards have been turned over. Beat The Bear will provide  delightful way for beginner readers to reinforce their recognition of the following single sound - b, c , d, h, l, m, p, r, s, t. 4 durable mats 25cm x 33.5cm. 81 laminated playing cards are included in a sturdy storage bag.
