Phonics bingo - alternative sounds

Phonics bingo - alternative sounds

(0)
My pupils love to play bingo and these games of bingo are perfect for practicing phonics. Included are three different bingo games. One game to revise alternatives for the long a sound, another game for alternatives for the or sound and the last game alternatives for long e. Each game includes 7 different game cards for the players and all of the word cards for the game master. This is great for small groups but I’ve also played this with the whole class meaning there are multiple winners each round. The children loved it and I hope you will too.

Initial Sound Clip Cards

Initial Sound Clip Cards

(0)
Here are over 60 clip cards for initial sounds. This is a great phonics activity for early years or for some key stage 1 pupils. It encourages children to hear the initial sound in a CVC word. Once the initial sound is established children can then blend and read the word. This is great in a tough spot for continuous provision or as a table top activity. I like to laminate these as they can be used with clips or with dry erase felt tips.

Birthday Display

Birthday Display

(0)
A traditional birthday display chart in both English and Spanish. I page per month. I laminate each page and use a white board marker to write the children’s names and day. For example, 5th John or 16th Samantha. Once you’ve done this you can just wipe them off at the end of the year and reuse the birthday chart again year after year.

Prefixes Clip Cards

Prefixes Clip Cards

(0)
These clip cards are a great way for students to practice adding prefixes to root words. 32 cards are included; each card has three possible answers. Students select the correct answer by clipping a clothespin, peg or paper clip to it. I like to laminate these cards so students can simply circle the correct answer using a dry erase marker. These cards are great for talk partner work, think-pair-share or in a tough spot. Alternatively, you can print these on paper to hand out to your class at the end of the lesson; pupils circle the correct answer and hand in as a great exit ticket or plenary to the lesson. These are perfect for KS1 pupils but may be helpful for your lower KS2 pupils too.
