More Info - Pick up a vowel

 

These literacy boardgames are a really fun way to practise National Curriculum topics with a small group or a pair of children. Easy to play and full of colourful illustrations they brighten up any lesson at school or family game time at home.

Each board is double-sided so provides two games in one! Each game is set at a different level of difficulty so players can progress from one to the other as their skills improve or provides two different elements of a topic.

Learn the 'short' vowel sounds (shown above) in this easy to play game. Start off with three letter words e.g. 'cat' then move on to four letter words e.g. 'pram'. It's great fun and as an extra if you wish you can even use a dry wipe pen and write the vowels in the words on the board as you go along.

  • A3 size double-sided laminated boardgame

  • Dice, counters and playing instructions
