This is a phoneme feud! A literacy game that is very similar to the classic card game War! has partners challenging each other for the most phonemes. They place one picture card face-up at a time and segment the phonemes aloud. Whoever has the most phonemes takes the cards. In the case of a tie, they play the round similarly to War!.
