Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Sort words by their first sound (vowel or consonant, which decides a or an), feelings vs weather words, pronouns, and statements vs negatives.

What's in the worksheet

4 questions, sorting into 2 groups - egg, orange start with a vowel sound; book, table with a consonant sound - happy, sad are feelings; rainy, sunny are weather - I, we for yourself; he, they for other people - I like fish. vs I do not like fish. as statement and negative

How to use it in class

A 5-minute mixed review in teams. For Q1, teams say an egg, a book aloud before dragging so they can hear the difference. - For Q4, children find not in each sentence and point to it on screen - For Q3, explain that we includes me, so it goes with yourself - Play it linked to your class so scores go into the gradebook

Common sticking points

- orange (Q1): Thai children write its first sound with อ, which is a consonant letter in Thai, and so may class it as a consonant. Explain that o is a vowel in English - we (Q3): dragged to other people because it means more than one - they (Q3): some hesitate because the game's explanation mentions the listener, yet there is no you in the groups
