Pumpkin Patch Phonics is a simple children's game that teaches players phonics. Players spin a spinner, and move their token to the nearest picture that starts with the letter that the spinner is pointing to. There are five special spaces on the board, where a player can slide up or down the track - similar to Chutes and Ladders. There is an alternative version included (the other side of the spinner) where players can use the ending sound of a word, rather than the starting sound.
