This game is great for promoting vocabulary/terminology in my mixed R/1 class. This download includes 10 PDF documents with 4 pages (40 game boards in all). Each game board covers a range of sounds from phase 2-5 and set 2/3 RWI. This game is a great revision activity that is fun and allows children to show what they know as well as collaborate/play with other children. This can be used as a whole class activity / starter or with 1:1/group interventions. Great revision activity for the upcoming phonics screening test. No real preparation needed. Simply print, cut and use. To play who’s who the children need to pick a word and then ask other players questions to eliminate possible words (aliens). Alternatively you can laminate boards and just ask children to choose a alien (word) and ask children to sit in a group to play. Also I have used these as bingo boards for small groups (up to 4 children). I really hope you and your class enjoy this as much as my class do. Please leave feedback if possible :) Thanks

70 Spelling activities to reinforce weekly spelling words. Can be used with EYFS, KS1, KS2, and KS3. Here is a large collection of spelling activities that can be used with a range of ages without much editing. I have tried to make them as interesting as possible by using fancy fonts, colours, images and GiFs. I have attached a few screen shots of some of the activities. The activities work best when shown on an ActivInspire Flipchart because there are GiF images and files attached, however, I have also converted the slides to PDF so all can use them. Some pages require you to add the spelling words, some do not. Please feel free to edit as you wish and suggest ways that this resource can be improved. I hope you enjoy them and get use out of them.
