The resource includes:
- set 1-7 words and consonant digraphs
- vowels
- combination of Phase 3 graphemes
- tricky words.
Both the vowels and set 1-7 and consonant digraphs include boards for the sounds as well as words.
Either label cars with the words or sounds for a matching activity or sound out the word or say the sound and players park their car in the correct bay. Alternative use the word boards and players park their car in the bay that rhymes with the word you say.
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.

A fun resource to practice pseudo words and phonics that will fit into your Alien or space topics.
Once they've been cut out (sorry I know its a fiddly one), children pick a sound and find the 4 puzzle pieces that match the sound. The puzzle pieces either have a picture or a word puzzle that matches. I've also included a recording sheet if you wanted to make this a writing activity.
There is a file for each phases tricky words. Children colour each section according to the key at the top. Once coloured a tricky word will be revealed.
Great resource to send home.
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.
There is a board for each phase 5 sound. The board with ew/ue/u-e can be used for oo and yoo. Ideally played in pairs and children can see how many alien families they can cover up.

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

A bit different to the normal matching that is available elsewhere, as there is for each sound approx 2 - 6 pictures and sentences for each phase 5 sound . The sentence in some cases are also a bit silly i.e A lime with a smile... A hive with a smile.
I've only change 1 or 2 words in each sentence so makes the children read for comprehension.
Can also use the pictures for sentence writing, or read the sentences and draw the picture to go with it.
105 sentences and matching pictures in total.
A PowerPoint game that covers some of the words from the Phase 5 word list (others are covered in the other Phase 5 Kym’s Game which is a picture version)
Maximum of 5 words are used per game. There is a game for each of the Phase 5 sounds. Children can either say or write the word that disappears.
A fun music themed matching activity.
Cut out the keyboard with the words and mix them up. Match to the correct keyboard by identifying the correct sound within the word.
Could also be used as a bingo type game where the caller says the word and the players say their sound if their sound is in that word.
