A SNOWY IDEA: Ask an adult to write a word in the snow. Can you use your sounds to read what it says?
I have another practical reading challenge for you today. It’s time for a game of splat the sound! For this game, you will need your set 1 speed sound cards and some splatters (these could be fly swatters, wooden spoons or just simply just your hands). Ask an adult to shout out a sound. Your task is to find that sound and splat it as quickly as you can. The first person to splat the sound wins the card. Once all the cards have been splatted, the person with the most cards is the winner. Let me know who wins! The picture below shows children playing this game with harder sounds but is just there to give you an idea of how to play.
Challenge: If you are super speedy at finding all of your sounds, ask an adult to write down the following words on cards. This time rather than telling you a sound, your adult will shout out a word for you to splat.
