CVC Frog Leap pads

CVC Frog Leap pads

(2)
Use these Lily pads to practise CVC fluency. Print the lily pads onto green paper (or any color you choose). Pin the ‘-at’ to a frog stuffed toy. If you don’t have a frog stuffed toy, print the frog included at the end of this product and ‘stick’ the ‘-at’ to it. All five short vowel sounds have been included in this product. Lay the lily pads on the table and students take turns springing from one ‘–at’ lily pad to the next, reading the words as they go. They can then record the ‘-at’ words on a white board should you wish to practice their writing as well as reading. Pin a new sound combination to your frog once your students have grasped –at. Students at different tables can also be practising different sounds and then move from table to table. Visit my blog Learning with Sunflower Smiles to see how I used them. You may be interested in my other long vowel, short vowel and blends activities. Visit my store to check them out. Happy teaching! Margaux

The game is broken up into four coloured sections: Green – Write the Word by looking at the picture. These cards have a QR code option (and one without QR codes) which will reveal the correct spelling once the code is scanned – making it self correcting. Blue – Use the Word in a Sentence. Orange – Draw the Word. Purple – Act the Word. Only the GREEN cards have QR codes. Drawing and Acting cards have been included to add a fun, creative element to the game. The cards still require the students to read the word and know the meaning of it in order to complete the task. A game board has also been included in this product and everything is in color and black & white. The black & white version looks great copied onto the respective coloured paper/card. An instruction card is also included. This game has been designed to co-ordinate with the other Long Vowel sound board games so that cards can be added to the packs as the sounds are covered in class – meaning the game can be adapted throughout the year.
