Phonics Practice Ideas 

SNAP

Goal:   Be the first person to collect 5 sticks

Supplies:

• Word cards (create your own or click here.)

• Cup or pouch to draw sticks from

• Popsicle sticks (note cards, or scraps of paper can also be used) (25 total)

• mark 5 with the word “snap”, 5 with a dot, and leave the rest blank word cards

Directions:

1. Player one reads the word (not visible to player 2) while player 2 writes the word

2. Both players check the spelling together. 

3. If the word is correct, player 2 draws a stick and then players switch roles.

4. If the word is incorrect player 2 rewrites the word correctly.  Players switch roles without drawing a stick.

5. If when revealing the word, it is noticed the word was read incorrectly, the turn is replayed with a new word.

6. If a “Snap” stick is drawn, all BLANK sticks are returned to the cup.

7. Sticks with a dot on them do NOT need to be returned.
