Phonics game :)

Creating phonics games with your children is a great way to get involved in their learning. You can also use this game to play with your kids, or if you're a teacher of course you could use it in the classroom. This is a photo of a recent Letter-Correspondence (Phonics) game that I created using simple everyday materials.

Materials: Scissors, glue, cardboard or file folders, computer with printer for images, 4 Ziplock bags, and a pizza box.

The Objective: To get children to make a letter relation to a sound using photos/images. (example: Onion starts with the letter O)

**Phonics are a vital part of elementary curriculum and using games is a great way to get kids involved and keep them engaged.**


Game Title: "Order Up!" - A Fun Letter Corresponding Game for Children

Toontastic!

The new Toontastic App is amazing! I recently discovered this app during my daily educational app searches on the App Store. The developers did a wonderful job of creating interesting backgrounds, templates, characters, and forms of sharing the completed animated cartoons. Parents and Toontastic users can register an online account and view their children's work as well as others in the Toontastic community. Check it out! http://toontube.launchpadtoys.com and the App can be purchased on the Apple App Store. Worth every penny for sure :)
