CVC words are a key tool in teaching and learning phonics. CVC words help introduce children to reading by using phonics to learn the sounds of the individual letters, and then blending those sounds into one three-letter word. This particular activity uses a fun bingo game to practice reading CVC words. This pack includes two different versions of bingo boards with 3 different ways to play. There are boards with pictures on which children can either cover with the corresponding word or a colored square. Then there is the reverse of this with boards showing the word and cards with pictures or colors to cover. Each set contains 7 bingo boards.

If children learn to understand and recognise emotions both in themselves and others, learning to to identify and label them then this can ensure they will be better equipped to manage and regulate themselves when they experience strong emotions. If children are able to notice how they are feeling and then use strategies to calm themselves down then they are more likely to have successful friendships and to be able to manage set backs. These printables show large blank faces with an emotion word for children to draw how they are feeling and then space to write the corresponding emotion underneath. These can be used as a one off worksheet that children can draw and color in or they can be laminated to be used again and again with dry wipe pens.
