Food cards to be laminated and cut; placed face down in a pile. Children to take it in turn to pick up a food card and decide whether it is safe for their animal to eat.

I created this resource to use alongside the Scholastic lesson plan 'tea with the big bad wolf'. Two small tables to use when looking at spelling rules. First table when orally segmenting two similar words - does the initial/final/medial phoneme sound the same. Tick or cross as appropriate.

Words used for this activity were feel and fell.
Works well when used as a word work or phonics session when doing the Three Little Pigs.
