Initial Blends Match-Up Activity
A set of initial blends game cards.
Print, laminate and cut out the pictures and word cards.
You may like to use these cards for a number of different activities or classroom games such as:
- In small groups, students need to match each picture with its word. Next, with a whiteboard marker, they must write in the missing blends.
- In small groups, students play memory, matching the picture with its word.
- In small groups, students play snap, matching the picture with its word.
- Print out the the black and white version (2 to a page). Students may then cut and paste, matching the picture with its word in their workbooks.
