Dolphin Web Quest |
|
So over the summer I am going to be tutoring 2 girls going into 5th and 7th grade. Since I'm only going to be meeting with them once a week I decided that to maximize my time with them I would, of course, give them extra work to do after I've gone. However it is summer time and I wanted the assignments to be fun! One of the activities that I'm going to assign to them is web quests. I've created my first one all about dolphins and have made a worksheet to go along with the quest. You can see and use the quest yourself by clicking on the title or picture below. The guide is the pdf file.

Here is a new limited time freebie, Sight Word Zoo. This is a card game that allows your classroom to practice their sight words. To play the game kids take turns drawing cards. If they draw a sight word they must say the word. If they draw an animal card everyone starts to act like that animal until the teacher says, "Zoo keeper." When this is said everyone must freeze until the teacher says back to your cages, when everyone come quietly back to the carpet. This is a massive download with 10 decks, plus a blank one, that cover the first 300 words on Fry's Sight Word List. This is a perfect game to make sight word flash cards fun! For other great ideas on teaching and learning sight words visit my sight words page which not only has my ideas but features other great ideas from around the teaching blog world.

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.
