We played a rhyming game and word wall game this week. The children had to pull a picture card out of the bag and tell everyone a word that rhymed with it, if they couldn't come up with a word they could phone a friend for help which they loved. To play the word wall game I spread out the cards all over the rug and put the children into to groups and gave them a word they then had to race to see who could swat with the sun the word first. These were both a big hit with my class, below is the link to where I bought them.

Reindeer word game

We played a word game today using reindeer cards. The kids got to draw a card from the mail box and had to read it, if they could read it they put the card in the middle and continued on until someone pulled the HO Ho Ho card then all cards had to go back into the box. If the children couldn't read the card they got to call a friend to help them to read it. They really loved this game and had such a great time calling a friend, reading and using the Santa mail box. I had some of our word wall words on the cards along with some new words.
