(A printable phonics blends game for pl, br,gr,
st, fr, sl, scr, str, dr bl, fl & cr)
The
kids in my classes have loved this game over the years. They
draw the boards using chalk onto the concrete in the playground
then play.
The rules, the flashcards and some hints on playing are all
included in the game.
How
to play Phonics Blend Jump:
1. Draw this grid and the feet on the concrete in your playground
using chalk. Each square should be about 30cm by 30cm.
2.
Two players stand with their feet in the large feet facing the game
board.
3. A 'Caller' calls out a phonics blend from the cards.
4.
When a player has worked out where the blend is written they
must jump from their spot onto the correct answer. They are
not allowed to move until they know the answer.
5. Players then rotate positions but the winner stays to compete
with next player.
NB
The object of the game is to have a bit of fun while you learn
some phonics blends, so make an effort to learn them while you're
standing in line.
Lastly, remember to play safe and offer complements! eg Good
jump! Better luck next time:
In this version of the game you can either type the sounds you
require the students to learn into the text boxes, or after
you laminate the game write the sounds with non-permanent marker.
That way you can change the game when you need to.
