Word Family Hand Prints

Here's a way to have a little fun with phonology. You can be creative and attach the hand prints onto popsicle sticks, or have the students give the hand prints a "high five" once they've read all the words in the family.

Another classic

Great BINGO game for the younger ones. I use it to target vocabulary, colors (of course), turn-taking, matching, "WH" questions (e.g., Where can you find a tractor?) and object function (e.g., "What is a shovel used for?").

Meet Tic-Tac-Tony

I've had this game for a while now and it never disappoints. It is similar to Connect Four, but children get to put the red or blue circle on Tony's tail, push down, and as they let go, the shape jumps into an empty space. I use this will all ages, even with some of my higher functioning EI toddlers. It is a great motivator and I also sneak in some spatial prepositions while playing (e.g., top/bottom, next to, etc.). Also targets turn-taking.
