  • Each player chooses 5 pieces and keeps them secret from the others.
  • Roll the dice to see who lays down the first domino.
  • Take it in turns to lay a domino on either end of a line - (dominoes can be placed upside down, but they must be on either end of a piece).
  • Matches can be made between; two words with the same vowel sound, a word and its corresponding vowel sound or two identical vowel sounds.
Important!
  • Players can only lay down a domino if they can say the two words or sounds out loud.
  • If a player can't say the words or sounds or can't make a match, they miss a turn.
  • the first person to get rid of all their dominoes is the winner!
