This past weekend we purchased a few more board games for the children (masked as a birthday presents for Grace). These included the classic Chutes & Ladders game, as well another heralded classic - Operation. Added to the mix was Jr. Boggle.I remembered playing and enjoying the game Boggle in my youth, and this looked right up our alley for where we are with both kids in Phonics.
This week we have been using Boggle Jr. as our Phonics work, and the children have found it a fun challenge, and something unusually hands on for Phonics work. They need to complete ten cards, (if they spell the 3 or 4 letter word correctly using the letter dies it is theirs to keep, otherwise it becomes my card).
I was impressed with how well Jack has picked up on this game. Some of the vowels are difficult, but the consonants are within his grasp with his new basic knowledge from Starfall of phonics sounds. Plus anything that looks remotely like a flashcard is instantly hoarded.
