Phonics and English Games

[SquirrellyMama]

Does anyone have recommendations for good phonics and parts of speech games. I would like board or card games. I'm not looking for computer games.

 

Thanks!

Here's one phonics game:

and suggestions for some with magnetic letters:

 

You can move letters around on a metal cookie sheet to make words. Give them 6-8 consonants they have learned so far and a vowel and have them see how many words they can make! Once they get good at this, see how many words they can make in 1 minute. I like to have students make the vowel sound(s) we have been working on that lesson. With more than one child, you can do relay races running back and forth to get more letters from a box of letters.

 

Mad libs--I haven't tried these sites myself, I just found them through google, there were many more, these were the top 2 links for "mad libs free online":

Learning Resources has a set of six board games in a book that cover several phonics areas. Here's a link that you can look at for more information. I'm not sure if that is the best price or not, though. I use Rainbow Resource. They have a great preschool set for your youngest. I used it with my ds because he loves board games SO MUCH! I'm thinking about getting math sets that they have also.

A Beka has a set of learning games for their younger grades that can be utilized for any subject. They are just colorful boards that have pieces they earn by answering any questions you give them. Today my son used a "winter wonderland" board. I had him read words on flash cards that I made. For every one he got right, he got a piece to add to the picture. We also did mental math using one that has a rabbit in a garden. He earned more carrots to "feed" him for getting the problems right. Here's a link.

You may want to check your library for any teacher resources they may have. I found several teacher reproducible books at our library just the other day. I found a game about Magic "E" to review words that end in e. I was able to copy it and bring it home.

Thank you both for the resources. I'll check them out.
