This is the free version if you need or want to edit them please consider the editable ones in the store as well. It all goes to help support the website :)
I love teaching these in my classrooms, it really adds understanding and comprehension to even beginning and young learners of English. The ability to cut and put a word together is a really important skills for English learners and i hope these help you achieve this.
I have made a video below that introduces the worksheets to save you time before you download.
I teach it initially by using the clap method, where students clap out the chunks of the word, and also introduce the open mouth method (where your month opens for each syllable.
Once they have a good grasp of that i also introduce how we make a syllable, the vowel sounds of the word for the basis, and ask them to try to find the syllables in words. This requires students knowing what vowel sounds are first, but i have resources on this as well. It is not always the easiest way to teach it which is why i leave it till they have fully understood the idea of what a syllable is. I often find that they will count the vowels, which is definite progress but doesn’t always work ( it doe sometimes which can make it even more confusing for the students) I have tried to include words that have vowel digraphs in them in these worksheets so that you have words to explain how this method works.
I have also tried to include words that incorporate some of the other skills i have written about recently as well, such as diphthongs and the letter Y sounds.
These four worksheets are differentiated for different level of learners. so if you have mixed ability classrooms then these should be of use.
This is the Free Version version of the Animopoly game, Which is ready to play. If you would liek to support the website the editable version is also in the store for the princely sum of 1 Dollar!
As teachers we all love teaching students about animals, there is something that just catches the imagination about this topic. This resource came after making another Monopoly type game for phonics and CVC words, and some other language elements, and i though the idea could be used for other vocabulary elements, so i have started with animals. The download is at the bottom of this page. The name came out of my head, so if you have any better ideas please let me know!!
This game follows the very basic format of the old board game monopoly but has animals instead of streets, the instructions are here and on the file as well. I have written them for students and for teachers.
However i do have the PowerPoint versions of these as well. These will cost $1 USD when i put them up. Just because it took such a long time to make! If you are in desperate need of the editable one you can email me on the link below, or sign up as I do giveaways of the editable versions of the big resources for subscribers as well.
These games are great for both student and teachers, as the students are fully engaged and it frees up the teacher to focus on students needs as they are working ( or in their mind playing) It also turns the lesson into student centered instead of teacher centred and this results on more students on task.
Did i mention it is great to see them having fun as well 😉 IF you want more like this please sign up, and if you watch the video then subscribe as well!!
Free Version of our most popular download over 20,000 so far!
I love doing this activity, it can be totally self directed by the students and they really practice reading and comprehension skills from this. It is a whole class activity that can be done in groups, pairs or individual. I much prefer giving it as an individual task so students have their own work to present and take home.
I have a video guide for you, which as this can be a little confusing i suggest you at least skip through it, but i will put the main details below as well.

Students are given a board and the pets/description and have to match the description to the pet and glue it to the board
They go horizontal across the top and the bottom and vertically along the sides
When you ( or the students) cut out the dominos make sure there is a picture AND a description on the domino ( dominos have two sides)
Make sure the students know how to glue them as sometimes they will stick them all at the top.
Once they have finished, they can complete the centre part of the board and describe their favourite pet. If you need an editable version there is one linked at the bottom.
I have put examples in the file so it will be clearer!! I hope 😛
