Word Warrior - Reading Board Game [Template]

(0)
This fully editable board game adds fun for children who are learning to read. There are 21 spaces in which you can add any word you wish for children to practice reading. The board game is also A3 size so the words are easy to see. The idea is that 2-4 children take turns rolling the dice. If they are able to read the word that they land on then they can remain there, if not then they move back to where they just were before they rolled. This is one of my personal favourite resources, not just because both I and the children love it, but also because you can enter in any word set you like. I even play this with my son and it really encourages him to focus on pronouncing the words as perfectly as he possibly can.

This fully editable board game adds fun for children who are learning to read. For this package, I’ve split it into four games. Each being a set of one of the phase 2-5 high frequency words. There are 21 spaces in which you can add any word you wish for children to practice reading. The board game is also A3 size so the words are easy to see. The idea is that 2-4 children take turns rolling the dice. If they are able to read the word that they land on then they can remain there, if not then they move back to where they just were before they rolled. This is one of my personal favourite resources, not just because both I and the children love it, but also because you can enter in any word set you like. I even play this with my son and it really encourages him to focus on pronouncing the words as perfectly as he possibly can.
Writing Limericks Examples and Worksheet

Writing Limericks Examples and Worksheet

(0)
This worksheet gives basic information about limericks - what is a limerick, how is it made, what patterns does it follow? Two examples are then provided. Here is one of them… There once was a girl called Jane, who thought she had a really big brain. She thought she was cool, standing in a puddle of drool, but really, she was just insane. The first task involves the children highlighting the rhyming words and counting the syllables for each line. Following this, the second task is for the children to create their own limerick. Ideas for sentence starters are provided. The final task is for the children to swap with their friends so they can read each other’s poems and give constructive feedback. It’s also great to have children share them with the whole class. They generally enjoy writing them, especially their silly nature and I love reading them! So long as they are not anything about cats, hats and rats… that gets a bit tiresome.

Speaking Portuguese Basic Conversation Sheet

Speaking Portuguese Basic Conversation Sheet

(0)
I used this when I was teaching all about Brazil in a standalone topic. We thought it would be good for the children to get a basic grasp of the main language, Portuguese. For that I created three conversational scripts between different numbers of people. The phrases are very basic. I originally made up the conversations to go with a video about basic Portuguese Phrases from Youtube. It worked great at the time but I haven’t taught the topic again, as we rotate countries of study each year. I hope you can get some use out of it! *The document is fully editable so you can change things as you please. *
Giant Memory Game Template

Giant Memory Game Template

(0)
This is a fully editable A4 version of the memory game. The front of the memory cards are all the same pattern and help to obscure what is on the other side. When I use this in class I have those plastic A4 folders that I insert the memory cards into. It helps keep them in one piece and means that you don’t need to print the covers every time, just insert the new words. In fact, I don’t even bother to take the old memory cards out, they’ve just built up in there over time. If you’re not aware of how to play the game, the basic idea is this… Split the class into at least 2 teams. I usually have them sit in a line either side of the grid of cards. That way they can take turns in pairs down the line and other team members can try and remember the location of the previous cards. The pair then turns over two of the cards, leaving them in place, so both teams can see what they are. If they are a pair then they take them with them as one point. If they aren’t a pair, then they turn them over and its the next teams turn. Here are some ideas of how you can use the giant memory game in class: a) Matching words with their definition. b) Joining up parts of a word or sentence. c) Calculations and their answer, for example a particular times table. d) Verbs and their past tense form. e) Labels and their respective picture. *The example I’ve used in this upload is of adult and baby names for different animals. * There are so many ways you can use this game and you don’t even have to limit yourself to pairs. It could be a set of three that has to be found. Like many things, this potential of this game is only limited by the range of your creativity! The children love it and it also helps to reinforce content, encourages teamwork, as well as improving memory and paying attention.
The End of the Beginning A3 Board Game [Fully Editable]

The End of the Beginning A3 Board Game [Fully Editable]

(0)
This colourful A3 board game is fully editable. You can change the contents of any of any square on the board. This particular version of the game is called, ‘The End of the Beginning’, as each space either has the start of a word or the end of one. When children land on a space they have to give an example word and spell it. To add difficulty you could also ask them to use it in context. There are so many other ways you an adapt this for different lessons. Here are a few more examples… a) Maths Write calculations in each box for the children to solve b) Reading Write tricky phonics words for children to work on their pronunciation or you could also have the children use the word in context in a sentence or explain its definition etc. c) Science Write questions relating to your topic in the box, or add in question spaces where children have to pick up a card with a question on. You could even get the class to create their own question cards. All you need for the game is a dice and between 2-5 players. Each of the ideas above follow the same style game play. That is, if you are able to solve the problems or read the words in the space you land on, then you are able to remain there. If not, then you go back to where you were before you rolled. You can also get creative and add in your own special spaces such as miss a go or roll again. Or you can get really creative and add in special reasons. For example, you helped a friend in need, move forward four spaces, or you fell off your bike and broke your head, miss a go. etc.

Making Treasure Hunt Clues

A whole worksheet designed to help children create their own rhyming treasure hunt clues. It’s a great way to introduce rhyming words and short rhymes and riddles. Children attempt to find the balance between making clues too easy or too difficult. It’s split into three sections: Read existing clues and suggest locations for where the clues might lead. Write clues for other locations. Choose some locations and write clues that will help lad someone there. Bonus: There’s a secret code at the end for children to solve once they have finished the other tasks. Ultimately, this worksheet can be used to buildup towards children actually creating their own treasure hunt for other groups to try out.
