Alphabet ABC Go Fish and Cardholders for Little Hands

Why should numbers always take center stage in Go Fish? Letters are now the stars of Alphabet Go Fish. Based on the classic game, this is a fun way for children to learn and practice the alphabet. The deck of fifty-two game cards is thoughtfully conceived and designed: parents appreciate that lower case letters are included (holding the interest of older beginning readers). Because the illustration on each card begins with the card’s letter, little ones who are just learning the ABCs can play (“Do you have any airplanes?” “Do you have any socks?”) and progress from there through upper case and lower case letters.

Beyond the classic game, there are other ways to use these cards so the deck grows with a child’s skills: Memory Game, Word Scramble, Name Game, and Flash Cards.

The storage box and cards are sturdy to withstand use through the years; we’ve used these cards from preschool through early lower school. The cards are 3.25” x 4.33”—perfectly oversized for small hands.

And to make playing cards more fun and less frustrating for young players, we’ve included a set of two card holders to help small hands manage the cards. Each holder, with a friendly cat-face design, is made of two circles of sturdy plastic held together with a spring. Playing cards slide between the two pieces so that even the youngest players can easily hold and keep track of their cards. We’ve reached for these holders countless times over the years, whether a child is playing Alphabet Go Fish, Crazy Eights, or any other favorite card game.
