Printable Phonics Fishing Game
a card game that make learning phonics fun

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.

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.
