Do you want first letters make me say yes
Take one of the phonics cards and try to make your partner say “Yes, I do” with a question about something starting with that letter/ those letters/ that sound. For example, if you get “v”, you can ask “Do you want a (new) violin?” or “Do you want vanilla ice cream?”. You only get a point if they say “Yes”.
Play the same game, but also taking a colour word card each time and asking “Do you want a pink ball?” for the letter B, etc. Then do the same including the adjective cards (“big” etc).
Do you want combining letter game
Listen to your teacher or another student offer you a letter and say “Do you want…?” and answer “Yes, I do” if you want it or “No, I don’t” if you want something different. If you say “No, I don’t”, they will give you any other card without asking again (i.e. you have no choice the second time). When it’s your turn again and you get more letters, try to put some or all of the letter that you have together to make English words. You get one point for each word that you make which you haven’t made before. The letters can be reused as many times as you like, and you can copy words that other people have made if you have the right letters to make them.
