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!

Hi, This template is editable. I use two stars and a wish - with one of the wishes being the next step. It’s free and compatible with the 8 labels per sheet (avery L7165 ) sheets. Hope this helps. Thanks TuneED

**The aim is to improve pupils scores over the year and parents/teachers are encouraged to either record time or score to see if the child can better themselves each time. I also use these in class as revision aids or for quick games like make a column or row v a partner. Recently, I’ve started quizzing my class at the end of the week on the colour that they are on in the style of a Maths Bee! A bit like a spelling bee but obviously with Maths facts! The children love it!** I also use these as homework activities every week! That means there are 23 weeks worth of Mental Maths Homework with this resources This is set 3 and covers curriculum areas in Years 3 and 4 Included in this resource is set 3 of challenges that I send home to parents to help increase my pupil’s mental maths abilities and readiness for any impending Multiplication test at the end of Year 4! The pdf is a thorough guide on how to use and gives yourself and the parents suggestions on how to use and adaptations to try at home. There are 23 challenges with 13-15 questions for each challenge. Each challenge/colour set is broken down into 3 abilities. 1 star 2 stars and 3 stars. I really hope that these help support and further your class. Any feedback would be welcome as I’m currently trying to create other sets for Reception to Year 2. Many thanks

This resource includes 7 game boards and an Interactive Smart board version. The alien words (pseudonyms) cover all the split digraphs and there is one board that covers just the sounds. To further extend the game you could hold your own world cup with group rounds and then knockout rounds. You could use two boards or a die up to 3. I hope that your class enjoys playing these games. Many thanks for viewing.

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
