Here is it guys - a super cute, fun, and engaging activity for your students to use during Reading/Literacy centers!
It's called Pop for Blends! and it's from Learning Resources.
Here are the rules:
1. Choose a game piece (adorable little popcorn pieces!)
2. Spin the spinner
3. The number you land on represents how many words you must come up with for that blend.
4. Say the correct amount - you keep the piece! Say the incorrect amount, you have to put your piece back.
5. Beware!!! If you choose a POP! piece, you must give back ALL of your popcorn pieces and start over!
Winner - the person with the most popcorn pieces at the end!
There are over 25 different blends included in the game. And there are multiple ways to play! This game is a fabulous way to keep the kids engaged in a meaningful activity, as well as teaching them teamwork and cooperation! It's a win-win situation!
If you would like a chance to have your own Pop for Blends! game, enter below!
The winner will be chosen August 29th!
And don't forget to snag your blends freebie!

ReplyDeleteI would definitely use this activity at centers, especially now at the beginning to help them get used to rotations while giving them practice in their blends. I'm also the 3rd grade inclusion teacher and blends just happens to be a few of my students' IEP goals so it would MOST DEFINITELY be used small group/one on one with me quite a bit with them! I just wanted to tell you thanks for posting this and the freebie and for all you post! This is my 2nd year in 3rd (3rd year in all, 1st year was first) and your blog helped me out SOOOOOO much last year!! I cannot wait to see what you post this year!!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, so fun!!! Many of my students would benefit from blending/word making and this seems like a very engaging way to do it. I'm crossing my fingers :)

i would use this to review because we just introduced blends :)
ReplyDeleteI would use Pop for Blends! as a Word Work center.
ReplyDeleteI would use this for small group time!! So clever!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to use this for phonemic awareness as well as for articulation goals with my students. It's such a neat idea!
ReplyDeleteI would use this during my reading rotations. This would be great for partners or even a group of 4. I would have them write the words as well using the blend. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI would use this game during my reading centers. First, I would introduce the game to the entire class. Then, I would have students work in pairs and/or small groups to play the game. I think it complements the Open Court "Word Knowledge" section beautifully...good practice and review for my third graders! Love it!
