here’s how to play Hot Potato! • Print, laminate and cut out all of the 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!

roll the dice and blend to make a new alien I have included initial sounds and also blends and digraphs tip perhaps not wise to use the f and the ck dice together!

A set of alternative sounds flashcards. i add these to the pile as we go.... once we have secured RWI set 3 and they are ready for the alternative sounds. Included are Pie in a Tie ie Where is whiskers wh blue glue ue Oh my poor oe oe - also word Oh monkey eating honey ey mind the wild tiger 'i' sausage ad sauce au mice on a slice 'ce' phone in a photo ph shield in a field 'i.e. ee starry evening e-e on the head ea - e very smelly 'y' ee The kids love them!!

i made this game to send children off to find the sounds in words which matched the RWI phonics phrases.. Hear with your ear... Cup of tea Pie and a tie (actually i might have made that one up! still lit works!) Yawn at dawn chew the stew ew blue glue ue (again we made our own card for this sound!) Hide the aliens around school or outside... off the go to find the alien with the sound they needed.. glue on to the board.

another make a row of 4 game i used in phonics sessions and also early bird activities This time it is words to decode using a range of phonics. the kids loved it!! Rules children/player has a base board pictures are placed face down in the centre- match the picture to a word on the card, decode and read. if you have it colour in and place the picture back in play first to a row of 4 .... or 5 .. or.... the whole board as mine wanted to play!!

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
