This
game is one of my students all time favourite reading resources.
They have to fish for sight words using a home made fishing rod with
a magnet attached to the end.
To
play this phonics game just download the file you
require and print out all the brightly coloured fish and sight
words cards onto thin cardboard and laminate them.
Next,
spend a quiet evening in front of the TV indulging in a
little therapy while you cut out all the fish :)
Once the cutting is complete attach the words to
the back of the fish. After that attach the words
with two paper clips to the fish. Next find a couple of
twigs to make fishing rods from and then attach a magnet
to the end of each rod in order to play the game.
These
words are the words included in version one of the game.

cute
paste

How
to play:
In my experience, it is best to let the kids invent their own
rules for this game. They are very good at it and if you point out
that the main purpose of the activity is to learn the given phonics
rule and secondly to do it in a fun way they really do rise to the
challenge.
