July 4th Inspired

Hello again!

So much to learn about this blogging world!  I want to say a "Thank You" to Katie over at playingwithwords365.com for some info she recently posted.  I had to revamp some of my activities as I wasn't aware that you couldn't share activities that use Boardmaker PCS Symbols.  The pictures aren't as cute, but I don't want to violate copy-write laws! I guess I have a lot of research and learning to do!



Well, in celebration of our Nation's birthday tomorrow, I have an activity for you that was inspired by firecrackers. You could use it as an alphabet recognition game or a phonics game.


You will want to cut out and laminate the cards, then shuffle them well.  You can have children play in teams or individually.  Each child takes a turn flipping over a card and saying the letter or letter sound.  If they are correct, they keep the card, if not, it goes back into play.  If a child selects a firecracker card, yell "BOOM!" and they lose their cards.  The person or team with the most cards at the end of the game is the winner.

Have a happy, fun, and safe Fourth!!!
