What all will i need to create the game?
- muffin tin
- pom poms
- sharpie
- pencil
- paper
- spelling brain!
A muffin tin will be used to separate consonant digraphs. The teacher will write with sharpie on the muffin tin. The pom poms will be used for the students to toss into the muffin tin.
Reinforcement and 2 variations
Variation 1: instead of writing consonant digraphs the teacher could write different blends or clusters in the muffin tin sections and the students could then write words. also could be used for older students and replace the consonant digraphs with prefixes and suffixes.
Variation 2: the teacher could write CVVC, CVC, CVCe, CV, R-controlled words, and ugh, kn, and wr in the sections. the students would then be challenged to write words according to the patterns.
