The Alphabet Board Game using LEEP Race mats is an interactive and engaging way to introduce and review phonics with young learners. This game combines the fun of a board game with the educational aspect of phonics learning, making it a win-win for both teachers and students. By utilizing the LEEP Race mats, which can be downloaded, educators have an effective tool to teach phonics in a playful and interactive manner. This game is best suited for young learners between the ages of 3 and 7 and typically lasts for 5 to 10 minutes.

To begin with, it's good to warm up students by singing the ABC Song with Alphabet Sounds using the LEEP Race mat. Once warmed up, each player picks a small toy to use as their game piece. The game can be played on either the uppercase or lowercase racetrack on the Race mat, though lowercase is usually recommended due to its commonality in everyday reading.

The game's progression is determined by a coin flip. If it lands on heads, players move one space; if on tails, they move two spaces. As players advance on the racetrack, they are required to say the correct phonetic pronunciation of the letter they land on, followed by its hint word, for example, 'c - c - caterpillar', 'd - d - don't'. This encourages them to associate the phonetic sounds with the letters and aids in their phonics comprehension.
