About this resource

What's inside this resource

Two roll-and-cover game boards ask students to roll a die, move a token around the board, and cover the matching picture space until every picture is covered -- a bingo-style format built around images beginning with the letter Q. The rules are printed identically above both boards, so the two boards appear to be alternate versions of the same game rather than two different activities. The file's remaining pages are a thank-you note, social media links, and a copyright credit rather than additional game content. No instructions describe a target vocabulary list or extension activity beyond the roll-and-cover mechanic.

Product description

From the author

This letter Q beginning sound game is an interactive way for students to work on words that begin with the letter Q. This alphabet game provides students with a fun and engaging way to practice on the initial sound of the letter Q. This game focuses on the most common sound of the initial /qu/ sound.

What is Included:

One gameboard in color
One gameboard in black and white

What do you need to play:

One of the gameboards
A die
Something to mark the inner spaces with
A player piece to move around the edge of the board

This game can be a single player game or a two player game. To play, each student will need one gameboard, one die, 20 objects to mark the inner part of the game board, and a game piece for each student playing. First, a student will roll the die and move his game piece around the outside of the gameboard. The student will then cover the corresponding picture in the middle of the gameboard. The winner or end of game can be determined by one of the following rules below, depending on if the student is playing alone or with a partner.

This can be a single player game using the following rules:

The player tries to get 4 pictures covered in a row to win
The player tries to cover all the spaces in a set time limit

This can be a two player game by using the following rules:

Who can cover the most spaces in a specific time limit
Who can cover half (10 spaces) of the board first

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Associate the letter Q with pictures representing its beginning sound while playing the board game.
Follow multi-step game directions (roll, move, cover, check for a win).

Teaching tips

Use in a small-group phonics center focused on the letter Q rather than whole-class instruction, since only two boards are provided.
Say each pictured word aloud with students as they cover it, and preview the board yourself before the lesson.

Skills covered

Letter Q picture-sound matching -- students roll a die and cover the space showing a picture associated with the letter Q as they move around the board.
Turn-taking board game mechanics -- students practice rolling, counting spaces, and following simple game rules in a small group.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Are the two included game boards different activities, or two versions of the same game?

Both boards carry identical directions -- roll the dice, move around the board, and cover the matching picture until every picture is covered -- so they function as two versions of the same roll-and-cover game rather than two distinct activities.
