We played the game past times matching start letters of the beast names alongside the steal alphabet letters. You could easily adapt that for older kids in addition to create middle letters or ending letters.

She so read the start missive of the alphabet elevate in addition to matched the bill of fare to the right steal alongside that same alphabet missive of the alphabet on it. Once she matched the bill of fare so she stuck the beast bill of fare within the right steal in addition to so moved onto some other one.
