A few weeks ago we went around to a friends house and they where fishing for sight words, what a great fun idea !!!! I had been thinking of revising some of the harder phonic sounds with Pink so I borrowed the idea and changed it a bit and now we have catching stars in our house. Both kids loved it so much that I ended up making a 2nd catching stars game for Blue using the numbers 1- 10.
I printed off some of the phonics sounds in stars, laminated them and attached paper clips to them.
Then the kids got the horse-shoe magnets and started catching the stars. Pink did really well saying all the sounds and ended up reading the sounds for Blue when he joined in.
And after playing with the stars Pink went to her white board and practiced writing the sounds out.
The kids really enjoyed this and it was good phonic practice for Pink, so a winner in our house.
I am attaching the star phonic sheets below and the number as well.
This is a great game! I remember doing this a while ago with times tables and you’ve just reminded me… must go hunt them out… 🙂
