About this resource

Students will have fun as they play a board game to practise the welded sounds (blends and digraphs) for -ng and -nk, using emojis as a fun theme. It is perfect for working in small groups, literacy centre, or tutoring sessions. It follows the Orton-Gillingham model for learning sounds.

The game includes word and sentence cards for students to read to take them around the game board. The fun emoji characters make it a fun game to play.

I have included everything in colour and black and white for your printing needs.
