Poop Deck Pirates

Based on the Letters and Sounds 'Buried Treasure' game.
Aimed at children aged between 4 & 7yrs.

Learning Objective:
• Y1: To apply phonic knowledge and skills as the route to decode words when reading
• Y1: To respond speedily with the correct sound to graphemes (letters or groups of letters) for all 40+ phonemes, including, where applicable, alternative sounds for graphemes.

Choose two sounds which you have taught recently, (this is just so there's enough words to play a game).

The pirate will throw a coin to you. If it's a real word you need to keep it, (press the tick); if it's not a real word you need to drop it in the water, (press the cross).

This game is ideally suited to whole-class or small group activities.

The game ends when you've seen most/all of the words for that sound listed in Letters & Sounds. (There's often around 45 coins to see).

Have fun!

NB: If you're hearing no seaside sounds please refresh/reload the page. HTML5 can lose sound if other tabs are opened afterwards.
