I have tried to include as many sounds as possible into the compound word set. i have also made some nonsense words on monster lolly cards! Here’s how to play Beach Ball! • Print, laminate and cut out all of the cards. • Bundle the cards into a deck of cards and shuffle. • Turn the cards face down on the table. Children take it in turns to turn over the top card. • If the child can read it then he/she can keep it. • If a child gets the “Beach Ball” card then he/she must give back all of the cards!! The winner is the person with the most cards at the end of the game. We also have a ice cream stall mat where the returned cards go rather than back into the pile to make the game shorter!

This is another in the range ! We have regular 'interests' within the classroom- currently it is chickens! so following their interests i have made a range of rubber chicken phonic games. Lots of fun at home and at school. This is the latest! focus on the sounds ai oi or ar

Another rubber chicken but with a range of sounds i think i have used most of RWI set 2 and ai oi aw!

We love to play games during phonic sessions, we have sen known to take them outside for playtimes (even older children come and ask for the too!) i send these home to boost confidence and practise. This game is Seagull attack! How to play Each player can have 1 or more cones to collect their ice cream scoops . Shuffle the cards and place face down in the centre of the table. Take it in turns to turn over. Find the sounds and read the word. If they read the word keep it. If not return to base of the pile. Build your ice cream but watch out for seagulls attack. If you turn this card over all your ice creams have to go back into the shop! The winner is the player with the most ice cream scoops!
