Print, laminate, cut, and play.
Materials: 1 die for each pair or group of 3 (I usually do not play games with more than 3 children on a board), 1 game board, a set of picture cards, one game piece for each child
This is perfect for small group instruction, tutoring, or a center during the day.
There are 3 different sets of picture cards. Each set is color coded and labeled for your convenience. Place the cards face down on the game board. Player One takes a card, says the name for the picture on the card, and then tells the letter that makes the beginning sound. His or her partner must agree that the letter name given matches the beginning sound of the picture on the card. If so, Player One rolls the die and advances on the game board. If not, play moves to the next player. The first person to reach the end is the winner. Have fun!
Teacher Tip: Print the picture cards on card stock or heavy weight paper so that you can’t see the pictures when the cards are face down. You can also print the last 3 pages (background pages) on the back of the cards. That also gives your cards a little added flair.
