    bag with items who's pairs are in the others' bag. The Sounder picks an item, without showing the Matcher. Based on the initial sound heard by the Matcher, they then take out the object they believe is paired and the students in the group confirm if the initial consonant sounds of the two items match.
    (The students who play this game should have a good grasp on initial consonant sounds).
