Games for Math and Phonics

Using games and game boards for phonics instruction is now an integral part of my teaching.

It’s old school, it’s not original, but it’s just so reliable and engaging that I keep going back to it year after year. If you’re not using game boards like these ones, for phonics and math, consider it a no-prep present to yourself!

Board games are one of the very best ways to practice math every day in a fun way. My students quickly become independent workers with various board games – my job is to keep things interesting and make sure I am maximizing the learning going on.
