Listen and find

Listen carefully and match the spoken word to its picture.

For parents and teachers

Playing Listen and find

Tap a Listen card to hear a word. Choose its matching picture on the other side. Find all six pairs. You can listen as often as you like.

What this game practises

This game checks recognition of six familiar spoken words using picture and word labels. Replay a sound card when you need to hear it again. It offers a small part of listening practice; taking turns in conversation and following another person’s instructions need real interaction. No microphone is used and the game does not record or assess speech.

Speech uses the approved, static AI-generated British-English marin whole-word recordings. Tap a card to hear its word; audio never starts automatically. These are whole words, not isolated phonemes. No live AI service is used during play.

Progress and trying again

The normal game controls let children finish, save stars on this device and play again. A previous best result is kept when a later attempt scores less. Matching games count incorrect pairs; ordering games score the first check of each round; sorting games give another chance after a mistake. Take time to talk about a choice rather than racing.
