Printable ‘Dobble/Spot it’ cards with Key Stage 1 High Frequency Words. Good for use in provision or as a stand alone task for children to enhance their reading on sight.
For best results, print out and laminate or print directly onto good quality cardstock.
Don’t forget to review/rate anything you download or purchase, thank you! :)
Instructions to play:
Dobble is a simple pattern recognition game in which players try to find an image shown on two cards.
Each card in Dobble features eight different symbols, with the symbols varying in size from one card to the next. Any two cards have exactly one symbol in common. For the basic Spot it! game, reveal one card, then another. Whoever spots the symbol in common on both cards claims the first card, then another card is revealed for players to search, and so on. Whoever has collected the most cards when the 55-card deck runs out wins!
NB: The game is sold and published as Spot it! in the USA and Dobble in Europe, with slight differences between the two editions.
