Table Game

I have further embellished an alphabet table game from earlier lessons. I now started with a plain piece of paper and drew a game board. I then wrote words around a star shape and had it laminated. The children use game pieces and dice to move around the board, reading the words that they land on.

For previoues lessons I adapted a purchased "chinese checker" game by printing the alphabet in thespaces. The children would take turns moving around the spaces and then reading the letter on the space they had landed on.
I have a boy that is now on lesson 12 and he noticed this game on the shelf. He kept asking me if he could play it. I told him "no, you are way past that level now." I then got the idea to make my own game from scratch with words on it. I used brown butcher paper, drew a game board and had it laminated. It has worked so well that have made games for each area of the fair.
