There are three roll and name picture game boards that allow your children to create their own pseudonyms names for the aliens. Great practice for the Phonics Screening Check!
Roll an alien name Boards 1 to 3 -
vowel split digraphs a_e, e_e, i_e, o_e & u_e all with varied initial blends to start the word.
Alien name race boards
Board 1 -vowel split digraphs a_e, e_e, i_e, o_e & u_e
Board 2 -vowel split digraphs a_e, e_e, i_e, o_e & u_e (easier version)
Board 3 - vowel digraphs ai, ea, ie, ow, ue
Board 4 - digraphs ar , au, ee, or & oe
If the children role a six then they can choose their sound to use to create the alien name.
EDITABLE VERSIONS INCLUDED
**How to play: **
Roll the dice. When it lands on a number look for the sound designated to that number, ask the children to write it on whiteboard and soundout. If correct they can stay on that square of game board. Continue rolling and creating anmes for every alien they land on. For additional rules see rules attached to this resource. Allow children to make up rules!
Can be played with 1 or 2 players. Race game can be up to 4 players. Use counters/objects/coins etc as player pieces.
I really hope that you and your children get a lot out of playing these games.
Any feedback is welcome as I’m always looking to improve resources to support teachers and children to achieve their potential.
Thanks

I hope that you and your class find this resource useful.
Many thanks!
This resource includes 4 games boards with coloured background and 4 without background so you can save toner when printing. I’ve also included some alien cards which you can use to plays snap or splat games etc.
simply ask the children to roll a die and then move their piece to the number rolled. if they can read the word then they land on it, if not they cannot.
Great for small groups or 1:2:1 sessions.
To increase the length of a game you could use die with only 3 numbers or join two boards together.
I hope that your class enjoy playing these boards.

Hi,
I’ve been teaching phonics for over 10 years and have successfully taught children to read phonetically using school bought schemes .
However, i’ve found that some children ( especially boys) find it more difficult to retain phonetic knowledge.
With this in mind i created lots of fun resources aimed at engaging children using a competitive and fun method.
I hope you and your children enjoy these resources ( many of which are editable ) !
Good luck and all the best
Here are 30 questions that promote critical thinking. They are based upon the mastery approach . They are great for showing if a child has understood the process/concept of place value, adding 100/1000, ordering numbers and more. Lots of puzzles and problems with pictorial representations.
Feel free to edit and differentiate to meet your classes needs.
Many thanks, I hope they are useful.
This game is loved by my mixed R/1 class.
This download includes 5 PDF documents with 4 pages (20 boards in all) and a smartboard version of all hard copies for interactive whiteboard.
Each split digraph a_e , e_e, i_e , o_e and u_e have been split into three levels of difficulty and the middle ability has a copy with the sounds highlighted to further differentiate. The pupils simply roll die and then move car and say word they land on.
These sounds are ideal to cover if you are working on phase 5 or set 3 RWI phoncis schemes.
This can be used as a whole class activity / starter or with 1:1/group interventions. The interactive Smartboard game uses a die that only goes up to 3. This makes it a snappy but not too long a game.
Children could play best out of three or you could use the game boards to set out a mini competition/tournament around the classroom. It’s also great wen doing transport as a theme and to check and stretch learning.
I’ve included the word documents so that you can edit and create your own words.
Great revision activity for the upcoming phonics screening.
No real preparation needed. Simply print and use. You only need toy cars or a playing piece and a die.
I really hope you and your class enjoy this as much as my class do. Please leave feedback if possible :)
Thanks

It also contains lots of Interactive White Board Games.
I hope your class enjoys using these games/activities as much as my pupils have!

I hope that you find this resource useful. I have differentiated it 3 ways. Even for the lower abilities I’ve included some questioning that will ask them to reason and explain their thinking, as showing greater depth can be included for all to try.
Many thanks

This game is great for promoting vocabulary/terminology in my mixed R/1 class.
This download includes 10 PDF documents with 4 pages (40 game boards in all).
Each game board covers a range of sounds from phase 2-5 and set 2/3 RWI.
This game is a great revision activity that is fun and allows children to show what they know as well as collaborate/play with other children.
This can be used as a whole class activity / starter or with 1:1/group interventions.
Great revision activity for the upcoming phonics screening test.
No real preparation needed. Simply print, cut and use.
To play who’s who the children need to pick a word and then ask other players questions to eliminate possible words (aliens).
Alternatively you can laminate boards and just ask children to choose a alien (word) and ask children to sit in a group to play.
Also I have used these as bingo boards for small groups (up to 4 children).
I really hope you and your class enjoy this as much as my class do. Please leave feedback if possible :)
Thanks
This resource includes an IWB presentation. Within the IWB there are set Q’s and tasks for the children to complete. It is designed to fit in with a mastery approach to learning with small low level tasks to begin and then complex greater depth Questions to finish.
I hope that you and your class find this resource useful.
Many thanks
Here are 3 game boards and one blank. You can edit any game board to suit the sound your focusing on. Hope your class enjoys them. Delete the backgrounds and turn off colour background to print out black and white versions.
Thanks.
This guide will help you to create your own Interactive White Board activities. If you have any comments on how to improve the guide or add to the activities then that would be great. Hope it helps.
I'm using these bookmarks to prompt and remind the children of our presentation expectations of our school.
You could place children's targets on back or just use them to remind the children what page they are on next (As at a young age they have a habit of missing pages out!)
I have attached the word doc so you can attach your school's feedback policy etc...and make it suit your needs.
Many thanks, hope you find this useful.
