I am super excited to share 2 new products with you today! This first one is my "You Better Splat That!" phonics game! It is super fun and the kiddos love it! Basically I have included a TON of word cards that include: short vowel sound word cards, long vowel sound word cards, word family word cards, and  blend word cards (L,S,R)! You get 4 different word card versions for ALL word cards!

Version A: Full color with words and pictures
Version B: Full color with words only
Version C: Black/White with words and pictures
Version D: Black/White with words only

This is a great game that gets students involved in their reading and learning while being hands on and excited! You can really use the cards in this pack a bazillion different ways but the way I use it goes like this: Let's say you're working on short vowel sounds. Pick out 10 word cards that all have a short vowel sound. Then pick out 3 or 4 long vowel sound word cards and mix them together. Now the students should work in groups of 4 preferably. I use this game with a Splat! flyswatter I found at Walmart for $1 however in case you can't locate that, I gave you the pieces needed to make your own Splat! stick! Once you have a Splat! stick of some kind, the 4 students will decide which two students will be the "splatters" and which 2 will be the readers. They then take the mixed up pile of word cards and the two readers will spread them out on the floor upside down. They will turn them over one at a time and read them. Since they are looking for short vowel sound word cards, they would leave any of those cards there. IF they turn over and read a word with a long vowel sound however, they turn to a splatter and say "You better splat that!" The splatter would splat the card and remove it from the floor. Students keep going until all of the words have been turned over and read, then students switch roles. :) Fun, fun, and more fun!

The next product I have for you is a BRAND NEW, HOT OFF THE PRESSES FREEBIE!
Who doesn't love a freebie?!? :)

I made an I Have, Who Has? game using all CVC words. It's in the same rainbow theme as the Splat! game also! I included pictures under the "Who Has" statement to aide students in reading it, and of course because everything looks cuter with pictures! :) There are 32 I Have, Who Has? game cards with easy start and finish cards so that students know who goes first and who ends the game!

Click the picture to head over to my TpT store and download this freebie!
