Year 1 LOVED this game lat year to support their phonics and decoding skills. This year i have made an initial sound version of the game to support our phonics sessions. i have followed the letter and Sounds pattern satp inmd gock eru ck hbfl jvwx zqu z zz ss ff ll zz A very easy game to play. turn ver cards says sound but if you get a hot potato you loose all the card you have correctly said! a variety of uses phonics session 1-1 intervention Early Bird Phonic table Send home

i have made some tricky / common exception word watches. There are some flash cards and also some sheets with our words to find. One idea is to give children a selection of watch sand ask them t find a friend and mark it off one of the sheets(they are in groups of 5) or a watch a day. i was colour in a star each time they say the word correctly! Over to you! i have uploaded two sets- they are in different orders (i think!) at least 20 watches, 20 flash cards and tick sheets with 5 per sheet one set of flash cards comic sans- other set twinkle font, similar to sassoon

Two sets of Count & Clip Cards activity to practice and reinforce 1:1 counting skills and number recognition. 1-10 west and 10- 20 set. An added bonus is that little fine motor muscles are being strengthened plus those pegs can be a little tricky so also works on their persistence skills too! HOW TO PLAY: print the cards and laminate count each item- i use whiteboard pens so they can cross them off as they count clip the correct number pick a new card!

Hot Dog rules 1. Shuffle the cards and place face down next to the dogs bowl 2. Youngest player to start the game 3. Turn over a card, segment and blend the word. If correct the player keeps the card 4. The game moves to the next player 5. If the player turns over the card with the bone and bowl on it all their cards are returned to the big dog bowl. 6. Play continues until all the cards have been used 7. The winner is the player who makes the most complete dogs!

here’s how to play Hot Potato! • Print, laminate and cut out all of the cards. There are over 70 word cards! • Bundle them 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 “Hot Potato” 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 mat where the returned cards go rather than back into the pile to make the game shorter!

I made these for the classroom last year as we lead up to the Phonics screen. The KIDS loved them... i had to make sets to send home! idea of the game. Each child / player has a base card and the alien cards are placed faced down in the middle of the table. take it in turns to turn over. If you have the red alien, find the red sound you base card. if you find and say it colour it in, place the alien back in play. game continues until we have completed the row of four- or in our case until they coloured in every sound!! it was well loved. thought you may like to buy and use it too x

Can you gather as many frogs as possible or loose your cards to the greedy fox. If you are lucky you might get to steal your opponents cards as long as it i stye right sound! we play this at school or we send home t play with mums and dads, grandparent and / or siblings.

a sorting resource which covers the sound families ay ee igh oa ue air er or ou - hide the words around school, outdoors indoors- sand / water. sort into right sound we usually laminate and then sound spot the sound and highlight with whiteboard markers

some sheets to send home to encourage communication at home. my children and parents love them last year...children encouraged to share the work at sharing time. or with key worker.

Space is our topic next term. So thinking ahead I have made some Physical Development / Phonics action cards for my Reception children. These will also linking with our Yoga sessions. I am thinking whole class, group work, phonic sessions, send home, laminating so children can select and complete independently once actions known. These can be done as a class session, early morning activities- during phonics and also printed and laminated so once the children know the action they can select a card and complete independently.

A card game to spot the initial sound. all you need to do is print and laminate then add pegs to the phonics table. can they spot the sound. also supports that pincer movement skills to open and close pegs! the only cards which have only 1 sound is "i'' i didn't want to confuse with ice cream icicle as these sounds sent 'i' will be making more- these took a while!! phase 3 sounds (J , v ,w,x, y z and qu, already on this set)

Print out the cards. laminate the caterpillars and the butterflies- cut the butterflies in half. cana the children match the right half to form a word that matches the post it note held by the caterpillar. It could be played like a memory game. The caterpillar cards shared out amongst the players and the butterfly cards face down. of course these can also be used for sand play too!
