Engage students in practising their learning around the consonant digraph of ‘ck’ with this fun rock climbing-themed interactive activity.
Let’s Climb to The Top of Our Ck Digraph Understanding
Teaching young readers the ‘ck’ digraph is all about explaining that the letters ‘c’ and ‘k’ can work together to make the /k/ sound, like in words such as “duck,” “sock,” and “back.”
This fun rock climbing-themed interactive activity has been created by an experienced teacher with little learners at the forefront of the design. The activities students will complete include:
- Look at pictures, decide if the object contains the ‘ck’ sound, and use a tick or a cross to show their understanding.
- Sorting words into a ‘ck’ list and a ‘not ck’ list.
- Type in the correct word in for a set of four pictures, including – sock, lick, stack, and dock.

- Sorting real and nonsense words that include the ‘ck’ digraph.
- Look at pictures and decide which word matches the image. x 4.
