I though of this when I saw my students trying to play some version or other of monopoly a parent had brought in for some games day. It is a really great activitiy that involves the whole class, takes about 10 minutes and covers three of the language skills they all need practice on 3. I have some sets that cover sounds digraphs, CVC words and Magic E to get you started. The activity continues till all have tried their cards and had a turn.Then the student with that word or sound has to listen and stand up and say I have bat who has hat.That students stands up and says I have cat (what ever it is) who has bat whatever it is.The Students take a card and the teacher chooses one to go first.On each paper there are two sentences, and maybe a picture if needed, mine have pictures where appropriate. It is a simple concept that aims to practice speaking, reading and listening in one whole class activity. I can not claim the idea for this phonics activity at all, a teacher friend of mine pointed it out to me, and another teacher to him and down the lone the idea goes.

They are perhaps a little dated at the moment ( It was one of the first resources I put on the site, but its on an ever increasing list of things to update) one additional bonus… they are totally free to download 😊 2. So I have single sounds onset and rime, CVC words, digraphs and blending words and Magic E. These have also been designed to fit whatever phonics topic you are covering at that moment. I play one of two ways, either try to get four in a row or the one with the most sounds covered at the end of the game is the winner. Except with the paper version they have to roll a dice and say the sound on the number the dice shows them. This is a ‘’take’’ on that game, my school wasn’t going to pay for 15 or so connect four games so I sat down and tried to put it on paper. Then the students have to say the sound before they can drop the counter into the game. The idea came to me after I found an old original connect four game in my school and wrote the sounds of the alphabet, and then as there were more than 26 red and yellow counters, some of the other phonic sounds in English on them.

I have been using these phonics activities for quite a few years now. We will keep updating this pages as we make and find more 🙂 1. We have chosen some of the best activities that are suitable to get this reading skills process started both at home and in classrooms and highlighted them below.īelow we have added 15 phonics activities includes connect four, flip phonics, mystery phonics and more from our and others websites that we as teachers use for both our students and our own kids as well. As this progresses more emphasis can go onto reading comprehension skills which is how we instill a love of reading into children and when they start to progress from learning to read, not reading to learn.

This skill then enables them to be able to decode unfamiliar words by decoding or deconstructing them to their individual sounds. Phonics is a reading skill that teaches learners to match the sounds of a language, this enables students to use decoding strategies to read the written form of words.
