🎮 How to Play
Ninja Dojo is a memory matching game where two players take turns flipping cards to find pairs. When a pair is matched, that player earns a point!
- Players take turns clicking cards to flip them
- Find matching pairs to score
- The player with the most matches wins
- Winner chooses a medal for their Honour Wall
🏅 Honour Wall (Medal System)
After each match, the winner selects a medal to add to their Honour Wall. Each player can collect up to 20 medals before their wall automatically resets to zero.
Both players select a medal in case of a tie!

🎯 SOUND INFO
🎯 How to Produce the ‘TH’ Sound
Voiced TH (as in “mother”, “brother”, “together”):
- Place your tongue tip between your teeth
- Turn your voice ON
- Let air flow gently through
- You should feel vibration in your throat
Voiceless TH (as in “nothing”, “something”):
- Place your tongue tip between your teeth
- Turn your voice OFF
- Push air gently through (like a whisper)
- No throat vibration
Practice tip: Place your hand on your throat. With voiced TH, you’ll feel vibration. With voiceless TH, you won’t!
📈 Progression Through Levels
LEVEL 1: WORD LEVEL
Goal: Child can say the target word correctly in isolation
- Ask child to say the word 5 times per card
- Provide immediate feedback on each production
- Model correct production if needed
- Track accuracy using ✓ CORRECT / ✗ INCORRECT buttons
Move to Phrase Level when accuracy reaches 80% or higher
LEVEL 2: PHRASE LEVEL
Goal: Child can say the target word correctly in a 2-word phrase
- Add simple words like “my”, “the”, “big”, “nice” before/after the target word
- Examples: “my mother”, “another one”, “nice weather”
- Ask for 3-5 productions per card
- Continue providing feedback and modeling
Move to Sentence Level when accuracy reaches 80% or higher
LEVEL 3: SENTENCE LEVEL
Goal: Child can say the target word correctly in short sentences
- Use 3-5 word grammatically correct sentences
- Carrier phrase suggestion: “I see ___”
- Examples: “I see my mother”, “We play together”, “I like feathers”
- Model sentences first, then have child repeat
- Ask for 3-5 productions per card
Continue practicing at this level until accuracy is consistently above 80%
⚠️ Important Notes
- Don’t rush: Progress to the next level only when your child consistently achieves 80% accuracy
- Be positive: Praise effort and improvement, not just perfect production
- Keep it fun: Short, frequent practice sessions work better than long ones
- Moving to conversation: Once your child masters sentence level, they may still need support to use the sound in spontaneous speech
- Need more help? If your child continues to have difficulty after consistent practice, consider consulting a speech pathologist for personalised strategies
