來玩戰艦 - Phonics 版

This is a class designed to give your child intentional practice with reading/sounding out words that have a targeted phonics concept.

When you enroll your child, please message to tell me which skill you’d like me to focus on.  I will send the game board to be printed ahead of our meeting.  Your child will need bingo chips or counters.  Five bingo counters should be a different colour than the rest.  These five are used as the “battleships”.


“How to Play:  This is a game for two players.  Each player needs one copy of the game board.  Players must secretly select 5 words and place a counter or their own “battleship” on them.  Players take turns asking if the other player’s ship is on a word {“Is your battleship on ‘cap’?}.  If correct, their opponent must removed their ship from the board because it has been “sunk”.  The winner is the first person to locate all their opponent’s battleships.  Players can choose to use different counters to keep track of the words they’ve already asked.”
