Speech File Folder Game

February 28, 2015 By Valerie Mcclintick 2 Comments

There is just something so fun and simple about our Circle Punch Games

that I can’t stop making them.

Maybe it’s the fact that it’s so easy to get the game set up and ready to go…..

no more cutting of obscure shapes and bumps.

Maybe I’m just being lazy.

I don’t know, but today I put together this simple gameboard for children working on beginning blends sounds with the letter L.

You might remember that my son is ready to start pronouncing words correctly (even if I’m not.)

So I’ve made this game in hopes that he will practice, practice, practice

saying those blends as he plays.

In fact, the whole family can practice because

this game can easily be played as a multiplayer version as well.

Head on over to our sister site File Folder Fun to print and play this game too:

BTW- This game uses a 1/5″ circle punch, you can find out more here.

Well, my kindergartner is finally ready to start talking without all those slurred S sounds.

(I may not be ready for it, but he certainly is)

Personally, I think it is adorable when he says “Pagetti” instead of spaghetti and “Tooter” instead of scooter.

But alas, he is nearing 6 years old and it’s time to provide some gentle guidance towards correct pronunciation.

I made this letter S blends learning game specifically for him :)

The game comes with twenty-eight different pictures of letter s consonant blends for children to match up with the correct beginning letters.

With our easy assemble learning centers It couldn’t be easier to get this game setup and ready. Simply glue the gameboards to the file folder, and punch out the circle pictures with a 1.5 inch circle punch. Your kiddos will be mastering their S sounds in no time.

A Simple but Effective Tip!

January 8, 2012 By Valerie Mcclintick 2 Comments

Today I just wanted to take a quick second
to share something that has been working for us.

If you follow me on facebook you saw I posted these
Parts of Speech printables last week.

Well, here is just a QUICK little tip for how to use them.

First I simply put them back to back in a page protector,
so that my children could store them in their binders.

Then, they can pick one of their reading assignments from the day,
and go through and find two of each of the different parts of speech.

(I have them underline them in different colors and make a key at the top)

I suppose it’s pretty obvious, but I loved how simple it was,
and that by the end of the week my children didn’t need much help
looking for the different words.

(Not to mention that there is WAY LESS complaining
when my kids get even the smallest bit of choice in the matter)

Happy Teaching!
