How to play?🤓
Choose a set of words to practise. Turn up the volume on your device🔈, listen for the word and choose the correct egg.
The game will list any words you found tricky at the end.
✨These could be the words you focus on learning this week.✨
💡Some ideas of activities to help develop recall of unknown High Frequency Words:
❤️Adults to say the word your child is learning in a sentence. Ask your child to repeat the sentence. 🗣This is very important in order to help your child understand the meaning of the word. e.g. ‘the’- I want to play with the ball.
🧡Make flashcards out of the words and use these to play snap. Be sure to say each word as the game is played.
💜Play Bingo using the words- select a group, call out the words and have your child cover that word when they hear it.
💚Have your child draw a picture beside the word to help him or her to remember the word 🎨.
💙Display these on a door or the fridge at home and say them frequently. Remove each word when your child knows it. Allow him/her to rip it up and put it in the bin. 🚮
🖤Say the words in a whispering voice🤫, a shouting voice📢, a grizzly bear voice 🐻 etc.
💛Write the words on post-it notes and stick them on the wall and see if your child can hit each word with a ball🎾, jump up to reach the words 🤚🏽or when it is dark shine a torch on the wall to find the word 🔦.
We hope you are all keeping safe and well!
