Fun Games for Teaching the “OT” Word Family:
Word Fishing:
Get ready for some fishing fun! Create fish-shaped cards, each featuring a different “ot” word. Attach a paperclip to each card. Use a toy fishing rod with a magnet attached to the end as your “fishing rod.” Spread the fish cards out on a flat surface, and encourage your child to “fish” for a word. Once they catch a fish, have them read the word aloud. This game adds excitement and hands-on learning to the mix.
Hopscotch Word Jump:
Take the classic hopscotch game to a new level of phonics fun! Create a hopscotch grid on the floor or use sidewalk chalk outdoors. Instead of numbers, write “ot” family words in each square. Have your child say the word out loud as they hop on it. This game combines physical activity with word recognition, making learning enjoyable and active.
Word Family OT Bingo:
Who doesn’t love a good game of bingo? Create bingo cards with a grid of “ot” family words. You can find ready-made templates online or make your own. Call out words randomly, and your child can cover the corresponding word on their card. This game reinforces word recognition and encourages listening skills.
Word Treasure Hunt:
Transform learning into a thrilling adventure with a word treasure hunt! Write “ot” family words on small slips of paper and hide them around the house or in your backyard. Provide your child with a treasure map or clues to find each word. As they discover a word, have them read it aloud and collect it in their treasure bag. This game promotes word identification while adding an element of excitement and exploration.
With these fun games, you can turn phonics practice into an engaging and enjoyable experience for your children.
