New Certificate made for 2022 and uploaded!
Event table top sign uploaded - all it says is event for you then write the activity they are doing.
i have added nonsense split digraphs to the resource as well for 2022!
Are you ready to take part in the phonic Olympics. Lots of activities to complete and have fun with.
A Phonic Passport for recording achievements. I have left the pages blank so you can choose who you want to use them. These are new- i didn’t use them last year- a new venture this year. we will record times etc! perhaps they can self evaluate - which sound do they need to practise? may even send home with a game to play and parents to record?
Last year i bought the small trophies from tescos and the children were awarded once the challenges were completed! They loved it. Maybe medals this year , although they did like the trophies
I have revamped some of the games for this year
Including a range of phonic speed words (nonsense and real)

Things that you will need to get- glitter and tray for glitter writing

i have included a photo of the resources i used last year.
this year my phonics will be themed around the Grufflo / Gruffalo Child.
I have made some games to play with the initial sounds and tricky words and some hand writing sheets.
the games are a lot of fun- i am following the Hot Potato game rules which my kids and parents LOVED.
bundle for £4 instead of £6
Print and fold to make paper fortune style phonic games.
it is the old fashioned game i played as a kid! choose number and open and close choose number and segment and blend the word underneath. my Year 1 children loved last years nonsense words ones , class 2 did as well!! so thought this year for phonics table i would do the same but for reception sound recognition and segmenting and blending skills. use at school or take home- ours went into the playground too!

i have used both in school and sent them home too

The aim of the game is to find four in a row. We played this like memory game. picture cards/ aliens place face down. children turned over and found matching word.. or coloured alien to coloured word.

a variety of uses

i have made some tricky / common exception word watches. There are some flash cards and also some sheets with our words to find.
One idea is to give children a selection of watch sand ask them t find a friend and mark it off one of the sheets(they are in groups of 5)
or
a watch a day. i was colour in a star each time they say the word correctly!
Over to you!
i have uploaded two sets- they are in different orders (i think!)
at least 20 watches, 20 flash cards and tick sheets with 5 per sheet
one set of flash cards comic sans- other set twinkle font, similar to sassoon
Hot Dog rules
1. Shuffle the cards and place face down next to the dogs bowl
2. Youngest player to start the game
3. Turn over a card, segment and blend the word. If correct the player keeps the card
4. The game moves to the next player
5. If the player turns over the card with the bone and bowl on it all their cards are returned to the big dog bowl.
6. Play continues until all the cards have been used
7. The winner is the player who makes the most complete dogs!
here’s how to play Hot Potato!
• Print, laminate and cut out all of the cards. There are over 70 word cards!
• Bundle them into a deck of cards and shuffle.
• Turn the cards face down on the table. Children take it in turns to turn over the top card.
• If the child can read it then he/she can keep it.
• If a child gets the “Hot Potato” card then he/she must give back all of the cards!!
The winner is the person with the most cards at the end of the game.
We also have a mat where the returned cards go rather than back into the pile to make the game shorter!

I made these for the classroom last year as we lead up to the Phonics screen. The KIDS loved them... i had to make sets to send home!
idea of the game.
Each child / player has a base card and the alien cards are placed faced down in the middle of the table.
take it in turns to turn over. If you have the red alien, find the red sound you base card. if you find and say it colour it in, place the alien back in play.
game continues until we have completed the row of four- or in our case until they coloured in every sound!!
it was well loved. thought you may like to buy and use it too x
