These games would have to be one of my favorite phonics activities. You may already know that I love to challenge students and really make them think. Well the Word Change Board Games certainly do that!                                    These games are played as board games with players taking turns to place a letter on top of another letter in the word on the board and make a new word. I love this activity because it really helps students to recognize common letter patterns.   Word Change Freebies I have 2 Word Change Freebies at -   CVC Word Change Board Game http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Short-Vowel-CVC-Word-Change-Board-Game and   Silent e Word Change Board Game http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Silent-e-Word-Change-Board-Game     More Word Change Games More Silent e Word Change Board Games are also inc...

My Favorite Freebie I had to think long and hard about this but in the end it was my Word Board that I have to admit is my favorite.   It is My Favorite Because ... I love these cute cats for many reasons - yes they are cute but they also invite so much learning to take place. And they are also versatile.   You can use them as a board game or you can project them up on a smart board and use them to play a game - try 'What's my word?', 'Word Clue' or 'How Many Words Can You Make?'   The Story Behind It The story behind it goes back so long ago that I really can't remember when or how I started using some version of the Word Board. I think originally I would just draw out a large chart divided into 2 or 3 parts and write letters in each part. Students were then challenged to make as many words as they possibly could.   This worked re...

I have finally finished these! I have been working on these for some time and I now have 25 colorful, fun phonics board games for teaching silent e. Have a look at some of them here. There are 5 Rhyme with Me Games where the players compete to be the first to rhyme with all of their words.   There are 5 Word Fishing Games. The players move around the board and get to catch a fish when they land on a picture. The one who catches the last fish is the winner.  There are also 4 Word Change games. I love games that make kids think and this one will keep them on their toes as they try to be first to use all of their letter cards to make new words. There are 11 Word Boards that can be used as board games or used for 8 other activities. Along with the the 11 word boards, there are also 9 activity cards with suggested uses for them.   I think my favorites are the Word Change games but the kids always have heaps of fun with the Word Boards too!   This set is now available...

I am old enough to remember chanting times tables in class. Yes that's how it was done many years ago and Yes it was BORING! But it actually did help to cement these facts into my brain. Learning multiplication facts doesn't come easily for some kids! But luckily today you don't need to have kids chant and chant in rote form. There are lots of different ways to review facts and help kids to develop mastery of multiplication facts. Of course my favorite ways to do this is with games. I developed my Tic Tac Toe games to help do this and I have another set of Multiplication games also. Here are some FREEBIES that help to make multiplication fun!   Catch the Monkeys Multiplication Game In this game, the players move around the board trying to catch the monkeys! To catch a monkey they have to answer a multiplication fact!     http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Catch-the-Monkeys-Multiplication-Game   Tic Tac Toe With these game boards kids are playi...
