Product description
From the author
This letter-J picture game includes one color board and one black-and-white board. Players roll a die, move around the outer track and cover a matching picture in the 20-space center. The printed goal is to cover all the pictures.
Provide a die, a player piece for each participant and counters. Name the pictures and practice their beginning J sound before or during play. Use the game independently, with a partner or in a literacy Center.
Optional variations from the contributor include connecting four, covering spaces within a time limit, comparing the number covered, or racing to cover ten. Agree on the chosen goal before starting. The four-page PDF includes the two boards, a thank-you page and credits.
