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 flower. Players take turns to guess which flower by saying the sound or word that’s on the flower. Winner hides the bee next.
A set of 5 boards one for each short vowel sound. Set 1-5 sounds from Phase 2 and Sets 6&7 from Phase 3 have been used to make the words. Words are CVC or VCC
Perfect for practicing blending in preparation for Phonics Screening.
The aliens are unique to Funky Phonics 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 has carried over from the Phase 3 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.
ew/ue/u-e have 3 real words for the oo sound and 3 for the yoo sound. The alien words can be used for either.
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.
Sound Families - use with the Phase 3 version and match aliens with the same sound. Match the underwear that contains the same sound but different spelling to each other or alien.
A fun way of fitting practicing pseudo words and phonics in your Alien and space topics.
There is a board for each phase 3 sound. The board with oo can be used for oo and oo (u). Ideally played in pairs and children can see how many alien families they can cover up.
Ideal for practicing pseudo words for the Year 1 Phonics Screening.
The aim is for children to make their own alien words using a dice and the chart appropriate to the phase they are working on. There is board for Phase 2, 3 and 5 and a recording sheet.
How to play:
Roll the dice. Find the number you have rolled on the first box. Chose a sound and write it on your sheet under 1st.
Roll it again and find the number you have rolled in the second box. Chose a sound and write it under 2nd.
Roll it a last time. Find the number you have rolled in the third box. Chose a sound and write in on your sheet under 3rd.
Ask your partner to read your alien word. If they can read it give them a P. If they can’t give them a X.
Now its your partners turn.
