Make Phonics fun and achieve outstanding results!
During my 8 years of teaching phonics my school and I have had 4 years of results being over 95% and twice we achieved 100% results in the phonics screening check.
These games are perfect for boys and once you have laminated a few boards then you can get them out whenever and save you time!
The total cost of all resources is £23.34 so this bundle is a bargain!
Feel free to edit resources and adapt to your pupil’s needs.
This bundle includes lots of games and ideas for making reading more fun.
It also contains lots of Interactive White Board Games.
I hope your class enjoys using these games/activities as much as my pupils have!
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.
This resource includes an Interactive **White board & powerpoint presentation **that has a random pseudonym (alien words) generator for each set of bingo games. 39 boards in total
Set 1 - 15 game boards
Set 2 - 15 game boards
set 3 - 9 game boards
Each set covers a mixed range of phases to allow for your class to revise for the Phonics Screening Check.
Bingo is perfect for revising all the sounds and in a fun way.
You can use these with your class, small groups or 1:1.
I hope that you and your class find this resource useful.
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 game was loved by my mixed R/1 class so much that I created a 4 player A3 sheet version. It promotes reading and sharing. Included is a 2 player and 4 player version.
This download includes 5 PDF documents with 4 game boards (20 boards in all).
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. Boards contain a mixture of nonsense/alien words and real.
The pupils simply roll die and then move car and say word they land on. They don’t move if they can’ read the nonsense word. The other pupils really enjoy being the ref and check their friends learning. To make it a longer game use a die just up to 3.
This can be used as a whole class activity / starter or with 1:1/group interventions.
You could simply use this to time your children on how fast they can read the words.
To extend game just overlap the game boards and make the track longer.
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 when 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 new Year 1 phonics screening check.
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
This resource allows you to take your class through a step by step tasks that will see all your pupils achieving a fabulous piece of writing that is modeled but allows all your class to come up with differing pieces of writing.
The slides allow discussion and partner work. The rainbow strips can be cut up and placed on tables to allow the children to chose their own structure of their writing.
My class created some unbelievable pieces of writing using this scaffolded approach and I really hope that your class achieve the same result.
Many thanks
This is a great game! The children read the word attached to ball and then flick it.
I've also included find the bear game.
Hope your children enjoy the game!
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
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 hope that you and your class love playing this game.
Many thanks
This resource includes 5 game boards and the sounds au, oi, ear /ur pronunciation of ear, ar and ea.
There is a mixture of nonsense and real words on each board.
For best results print A3!
I have asked children to select their playing piece from a basket of cars and used a large foam die! just to add a twist and gimmick to it.
I have used these with a class of 20 plus but found they are great for use in interventions and 1:2:1 teaching.
Each board takes roughly 20 mins to play with 3 players.
In the past I’ve held small competitions to see who won overall.
Hope your class love this game!
Thanks
This interactive whiteboard game is fab! Boys and girls love it. I use this to test children's reading skills and use it to model sounding out words. The children must come up and drag car to the correct word. The children can also play in pairs and challenge one another. I have made 3 versions and one maths version using Numicon. Feel free to edit the slides to suit your classes needs.
Many thanks.
It's taken me a while to pull this all together and I apologies because it's not entirely finished.
However, I felt that I needed to get it out there for others to use.
The book includes 40 plus ideas to use in your class and hopefully gives you ideas to extend and enhance the games.
Please leave feedback. One day I hope to finish and get it possibly published ( a pipe dream maybe but who knows).
Many thanks
I hope that these games/activities help making Phonics screening revision easier and more fun.
This resource includes game templates that you can edit.
Stop the crabs and read the words. The crabs move across the screen.
Matching games
Flick the billiard ball into the correct pocket.
Feel free to edit and make suitable for your pupil's needs.
Thanks
Here are two game boards with word cards for the alternative ee and ir sounds.
The word files are editable to allow you to add your own.
Thank you for purchasing this game, I hope your class loved it as much as mine did!
I’ve created this resource to help teach my class historical facts about life in the trenches during World War 1 (The Great War).
There are 8 tasks for the children to complete using Minecraft. Some tasks have smaller, mini tasks within.
This resource is perfect to use to aid and support your teaching of the computing curriculum and uses gaming as a tool to emerse the children in WW1.
Each slide has a fact/stat to help increase the children’s knowledge.
I’m using this activity to help enrich my classes writing where we will be writing a letter from the trenches.
I hope that this resource helps your class.
Many thanks
This resource structures persuasive writing for your whole class. I have used this resource for Year 3/4 but it can easily be adapted for year 5/6.
In the past I have used this a whole lesson and written each sentence as a class to really create an in depth piece of writing. I would ask the children for their ideas and they would collaboratively come up with ideas and then write down after sharing them with whole class.
I have also cut the sentence strips out and allowed my higher attaining pupils to play around with the structure.
This resource allows the lowers a structure to follow and the opportunity to write without worrying about content and structure.
I hope that you enjoy using this resource and that your children’s writing is wonderful!
Many thanks
Here is an Interactive Whiteboard resource full of phonic games. My class topic is Pirates so I've gone Pirate mad! There are 11 slides and 4 games/activities differentiated. Feel free to edit to suit your classes needs.
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.
