Here are 5 new game boards to practice the phonics skill of initial consonant digraphs. If you missed the initial consonant or initial consonant blends board games you can download them on my phonics page. These five board games will let your students practice: ch, gh, kn, sh, th, wh, and wr digraphs. They will have to say the sound of the digraph when they land on it and a word that starts with that sound.
So I've got five new phonics board games for you. These are similar to the ones that I did yesterday except they are now covering initial consonant blends. Below each picture of the games you will find the link to the game. In each game students roll the dice and move that many spaces on the game board. They then have to say the sound of the consonant blend that they've landed on and say a word that starts with the sound. The first one to the end wins! If you missed yesterdays games you can get them all on my phonics page.

I found a great idea for an end of the year vocabulary game called Snowball Fight on the Third Grade Curriculum Blog. Have your students each choose two pieces of white paper. On one paper they write a word, on the other they write the definition to the word. Crumple the papers up and have a snowball fight for a set amount of time. The third grade curriculum blog suggested setting a timer for 30 secs. Once the fight is over everyone has to pick up one of the snowballs and find their partner. I.e. the students who find a word have to locate the definition and the students who find the definition have to find the word. You can also prepare the words in advance if you want to review certain vocabulary words. For more great vocabulary games and activities click on the links. |
