Phonics games

[ClassicalTwins]

Can anyone recommend phonics board games. I know alot of websites and games like that, but I am looking for actual board type games....sneaking school in.....:bigear:

This is a make-your-own, but m daughter will play Go Fish (and Old Maid) with *anything.*

 

For phonics, I could put a letter on one card and a picture on another, print it on cardstock and she beg to play. "Do you have an 'uh'?" No, go fish. It would force both pronouncing the sound a letter makes and the leading sound of a word from a picture.

 

We use the same cards for memory matching and bingo-style games. To play bing, we divvy up one half of the cards between players and put the matches in a bag, then take turns pulling a card from the bag and calling out "who has ____?"

Sometimes I've used materials downloaded from MontessoriPrintship, like these: http://www.shop.montessoriprintshop.com/Phonics-Sound-and-Picture-Sorting-PSF-1.htm but from clipart searches are sometimes just as easy.

Here's a link with various phonics games. They are not all board games.

We've used The Phonics Game and The Junior Phonics Game. - The Phonics Game Jr. has a game board and cards. The Phonics Game uses cards. I don't know if they are still in print or not. I thought they were both very worth while. If you are interested, you may be able to find them used for reasonable prices on ebay. I purchased The Junior Phonics Game on ebay.

 

I looked on ebay and there are listings of The Phonics Game for sell. Here's one. http://cgi.ebay.com/Phonics-Game-Opened-never-used-/350404157786?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5195b7215a There are several listings for it on ebay.

 

If you have a Learning Palace or some other educational store in your area you may want to visit and just look around to see what they have.

I've purchased educational games at Learning Palace.

 

I found one listing of Junior Phonics on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Junior-Phonics-Homeschool-Reading-Education-Kit-/290488972622?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43a27df54e

 

I cannot recommend the sellers on ebay. I am just posting these as examples so you can see what I am talking about.

 

You may want to post a wtb ad here for these items if you want them.

 

Also, you may want to take a look around at a Learning Palace or some other educational store if you have one in your area. I've purchased educational games at Learning Palace.

My dc just started Bob Jones spelling. They recommend that they do a "pretest" on the first day the list words are given to them, to see if they can spell them. I have noticed that if my kids spell something wrong to begin with, it seems to take extra effort to get that wrong spelling "unstuck" from their head. So I have not been doing the pretest. I'm wondering if anyone has any insight on this issue? Should I try to do the pretests, or keep going forward and only do the test at the end?

Thanks

Oops. Thought I was posting a new post. Sorry about that!

My2boysteacher, You may want to put the game , w-i-n-g-o, on a WTB ad here. It's surprising what you can find by using the WTB ads, and for a reduced price compared to purchasing it new. :001_smile:

Sonlight has a Bingo game and a Go Fish game. Both are very reasonably priced.
