How to play
Play as a group or in pairs. Players close or cover their eyes. Adult or chosen child hides one of the bee cards underneath a hive. Players take turns to guess which hive by saying the sound or word that’s on the hive. Winner hides the bee next.
These have been designed to support the reading and spelling of the Year 1 Common Exception Words. Some words have a picture to go with them to help aid comprehension of the word to help aid meaning of the word.
Each version has them in alphabetical and non alphabetical order.
Perfect for keeping on tables for support.
This pack includes dominoes covering the vowel diagraphs and trigraphs with the exception of ure. There are 5 sets included.
ai & ee
igh & oa
oo & oo (u)
ur & ow
oi, ear, air & er
Each domino has a picture and a word. Can be played individually or in small groups.
Alternative use - cut down the middle and use to play the memory game pairs.
A bit different to the normal matching that is available elsewhere, as there is for each sound approx 5/6 pictures and sentences for each phase 3 sound starting from ai (ure hasn't been included). The sentence in some cases are also a bit silly i.e A gear with a beard. An ear with a beard.
I've only change 1 or 2 words in each sentence so makes the children read for comprehension.
84 sentences and matching pictures in total.
Can also use the pictures for sentence writing, or read the sentences and draw the picture to go with it.
This includes two packs:
Phase 5 Phonic Flowers - Display version
This pack has a flower for each of the Phase 5 sounds. The sounds where they make oo and yoo have been combined onto one flower. The split ee sound has words instead of pictures and some of the others flowers may have words on the petals.
Each flower is in parts and will need cutting out. For long term use print onto card and laminate.
These can be used as part of an interactive display or a table top where children can attach the petals to the correct sound.
Phase 5 Phonic Flowers - Cut and stick Version
This pack has a flower for each of the Phase 5 sounds. The sounds where they make oo and yoo have been combined onto one flower. The split ee sound has words instead of pictures and some of the others flowers may have words on the petals.
They have been designed as a cut and stick activity. Each flower is black and white or uses grey scale to enable cost effective photocopying.
There is a dotted line around each part to make it easier for younger pupils or those with fine motor issues easier to cut. Older or more adapt pupils may want to cut around the thick black lines.
This is an alien words game based on the classic snakes and ladders but with a twist. Land on the rocket’s fire, go up. Land on the comet’s tail, go down.
There are five boards in total with approximately 15 words for each sound on each board. So lots of practice.
Board 1 covers: ay/ou/ie/ea
Board 2 covers oy/ir/ue/aw
Board 3 covers wh/ph/ew/oe
Board 4 covers au/ey/a-e/e-e
Board 5 covers i-e/o-e/u-e
Ideal for practicing pseudo words for the Year 1 Phonics Screening
The aliens are all my own design and those who have the same sound but a different way of writing it are the same shaped alien but a different colour, helping to identify sound families. This carries over to the Phase 5 version.
There is an alien for each sound and 6 sets of underwear (vest and underpants). Vests have real words and the underpants have nonsense words.
This resource has been designed to be open ended and used in many ways. Some ideas for how to use are listed below:
Matching – match either vest or underpants or even both to the alien that has the sound that’s in the words.
Pick a pair – match a vest and underpants that contain the same sound. Or match the alien to either the vest or the underpants.
Sorting – sort the alien words from the real words.
Bingo – pick either a vest or underpants and read the word. Hold up the alien whose sound is in the word.
Display – make a washing line, place an alien next to it. Sort out which underwear belongs to him and hang it on the line.
A fun resource to practice pseudo words and phonics that will fit into your Alien or space topics.
