Its based on the initial and final blends ( ccvc/cccvc & cvcc/cvccc words)
There are 3 boards for both initial and final blends plus words cards.
Please note there is no lp and xt blends as these didn't lend themselves to pictures.
Suitable for tables or to keep in trays for individual children. Print or double side the picture page with the correct word list page and the words will be on the back. Then just cut along the dotted lines, hole punch and thread through a treasury tag. Either laminate before cutting or after depending on preference.
Words lists are as the word lists for Letters and Sounds
A fun visual game that can be played in small groups, pairs or individually.
There are four boards in total. Each board has it own set of word cards. It's based on the vowel diagraphs/trigraphs with the exception or 'ure'. I have used words that are suitable from aged 4 up to aged 8 and have tried to include words that contain ch, sh and th.
Board 1 - ai & ee sounds
Board 2 - igh,oa & oo (as in zoo)
Board 3 - oo (as in cook), ar, or, ur & ow
Board 4 - oi, ear, air & er
Players pick a word card from a box or similar or turn a card over. They then read the word and find the picture of that word. Once they find it they can put a counter or similar onto it. If playing with more than one players, then each player will need their own set of coloured counters.
Could also be used in connect 4 type games.
These games cover the consonant digraphs and vowel sounds in Phase 3. Apart from a few of pictures, mainly the ure sound (treasure, picture) it can also be used to write the word.
Use them as an alternative to quick writing the sound or flashing the sounds. Children can either say or write the sound when they land on it. If they don't get it right they move back to the picture they were on before. Ideally play in pairs with a 1- 3 dice.

Could also be used in connect 4 type games.
Either call out the sounds and children put a counter on the picture matching that sound or play it as I spy and children tell you what picture starts with that sound and if they are correct they put a counter on it. Could also be played in pairs.
4 picture boards and a set of sounds
A game that is an alternative to flashing sounds. Cards for phase 2 - 5 (phase 4 is initial and final blends).
How to play
Place all the cards in a small bag.
Pass the bag around the group. Each child picks a card and says the sound on their card.
If the children gets the sound right they keep the card (younger children may ask a friend for help).
If the child picks an ‘Oh no!’ card they have to say ‘Oh no!’ and put any cards they have won back in the bag. (They can say ‘Oh no!’ in a silly voice)
Flashcards with words lists on the reverse. Word lists taken from Letters and Sounds.
Just print the word list on the back of the picture page. Cut along the dotted lines and words will be on the reverse. Laminate before or after cutting depending on preference
