"Alien Worlds" printable board game for Sight Vocab Cards
Here's another game to use with Sight Words cards, with a fun theme - print and play as for "Travel Time". You can choose between the version with the coloured background, or the less ink-intensive version.
"Travel Time" printable board game for Sight Vocab Cards
Although travel is heavily restricted at this time, I thought I'd share the scans of this game I developed some time ago. Travel Time 2 is the same format, but with more complex procedures.
The game is designed to be played with word cards, to encourage children to practise their Sight Vocabulary. You can make your own cards by cutting up thick paper or thin card (even cereal packets etc) and writing or pasting words on one side.
You will also need a die and tokens or "movers" to play the game.

"I Spy" for fun and for pre-reading skills
"I Spy" is an old but fun game!'
Here's a sheet of "I Spy" pictures that can be used to entertain children at home, and to sharpen reading skills such as:
For younger children, it's good to use sounds rather than letter names, e.g. "I spy something beginning with 'th'..." for thumb.
Here are some ideas for variations of the game: "I Spy" variations
I'll post some more picture sheets, and other ideas for using them, soon.

"Word Wizard Challenge" basic vocab game
Here's an oldie - a scan of one of the first games I made; it was always popular, so worth sharing again. It's handy for practising basic sight words and some easy-to-decode words. Print onto A4 paper or light card, and add extra glitter/stars if you like before laminating.

"Bug Bashers" printable board game
With all the dreadful news and panic going on with COVID-19, children are likely to be very stressed, no matter how calm their parents and teachers try to remain.
I've created a board game for a bit of a lighter-hearted reminder of ways in which we can maintain some control even in a pandemic.
You can download it to print (in colour, or in black-and -white for children to colour), on A4 paper or thin card. You can laminate it if you want it to last longer. You will need a die (dice) or spinner and some small "movers" or tokens (e.g. buttons, stones etc).
Note: The game files are in .PDF format, but if you find the fonts don't work on your computer, use the .JPG option - not as clear, but you won't be missing any of the text ;)
This game is free for all personal/educational, non-commercial use; the free downloads will be available for the rest of 2020 :)

Shamrock Memory Cards; more games to come soon
I'm a bit late for St Pat's Day, but I thought I'd post these memory cards anyhow. Shamrocks are always cute.
I'm intending to post more printable reading games etc. over the next several weeks, to support those who are struggling to entertain and teach children staying home because of the COVID-19 scare.
These are tough times for us all, no matter where we live. This is one small thing I can do to try to help someone, somewhere. All the games I add in the next few months will be available for private/non-profit/educational use until things settle down - at the very least until later in the year.
These cards can be printed onto A4 light card (or thickish paper, and laminated), then cut out. The words supplied are -at family words, but you can always write any other words on the card fronts before laminating the cards (use pencil so it doesn't show through).
Click on the links below the images to open a printable .PDF of each sheet. If you're using the words, print them onto one side of your A4 card, and the pictures on the other.
