Alphabet-O game

Created by Jill Bender, CALT

Alphabet-O is a fast-paced, strategic alphabet game that transforms traditional alphabetizing practice into an exciting, hands-on experience. Designed for therapists, teachers, and advanced learners, this game sharpens letter sequencing, visual discrimination, and cognitive flexibility.

More than just another alphabet game, Alphabet-O plays like an advanced alphabetizing activity—only way more fun. Players race to complete a perfect A–Z sequence without any duplicate letters, using a mix of uppercase and lowercase cards, wilds, and specialty twists.

Each game includes:

• 64 Alphabet-O cards (1 uppercase + 1 lowercase of each letter, 2 wilds, 10 specialty cards)

• 2 custom 3D-printed card racks

• 2 vertical reference strips for sequencing support

• Instruction booklet with link to video demo

🔤 Gameplay:
Each player fills their card rack with a random hand and takes turns swapping one card at a time from the deck, aiming to create a perfect A–Z sequence. Wild cards can stand in for any letter—but duplicates of the same letter aren't allowed!

🎯 Goal:
Be the first to complete your rack in alphabetical order without duplicates. The game ends the moment a player completes their sequence!

⚡ Designed for Therapists & Advanced Learners
Alphabet-O has a bit more of a learning curve than simpler alphabet games, making it ideal for students who are ready for a higher-level challenge. It promotes sustained attention, memory, and flexible thinking—perfect for CALTs looking to enrich advanced alphabetic and sequencing skills.
