Easy Phonics Centers for K-1 with Print and Play Games

Games are an engaging way to help students review key skills daily. They enjoy the repetition and predictability of the game, while increasing their ability to decode new words.


As a teacher, I know that low prep are always a favorite of mine. All you need to do is print these games and then your job is done!

TPT Seller Spotlight for K-1 Resources

 

Teachers Pay Teachers Spotlight Seller


My shop is featured this week in TPT's newsletter in the Seller Spotlight, it was a lovely way to start of 2022!


One of the resources featured is my Kindergarten Bingo set.


 

This set includes 7 math and literacy skills: Uppercase and lowercase letters, number words, numbers 0-10, numbers 0-20, color words and shapes. Each skill has 6 bingo boards for a total of 42 boards!


I use this in centers and as an alternative to worksheets for homework. 

The other resource is my Short Vowel Games Bundle.



This set features 6 different games all with short vowels. Some sets are decodable cvc words, while others contain blends and digraphs. 


This allows you to easily differentiate activities for ELA centers and homework.


Thanks to TPT for this feature and a Happy 2022 to all my readers!
