This game is great for children who are learning basic phonics and early
reading skills.  Children match up letter blocks to word-ending blocks to
create new words.  Keeping score for each assembled word makes this a
fun and engaging activity for multiple children.
Step 3
Start painting your blocks.
Step 2
colored paints which are complementary to
black marker showing through.  (We also
used a paint pen)
Step 1
Choose how many blocks you want for your
game.  We are using 6 word ending
blocks, and 3 letter blocks.
  • Acrylic Paint & Brush
  • Sharpie or Paint Pen
  • Wooden Cubes (Craft Store)
Materials
Step 5
Let them dry in between paintings just
enough to handle.
Step 4
Since we have three different colors we're
going to paint each color on the two sides
opposite each other.
Step 7
Ad your final color.  Your blocks should now
look pretty cute!
Step 6
Don't worry about the paint lining up on the
edges.  I left them with borders
intentionally.....looks Fab that way anyway!
Step 10
Write a different word ending on each face
of the cube.
Step 9
Step 8
Let them dry for a while!
Step 12
For older children you can use three letter
word endings.
Step 11
Fill all your cubes up with word endings.
Step 14
Write different consonants on each of the
blocks.  It took three blocks to get most of
the letters (no X, Q or Z in our game)
Step 13
Step 16
arrange the blocks to make as many words
As children form the words, have them as
they can, then let them add up their score.  
If they miss a word you can help them too!
Play the Game!
Children roll the dice and make words
from the letters and the endings that
come up.
All Done!
If you like you can store your game in these
