create your own word game

Check out this word building online activity I created.

Make your own word building game with paper and alphabet blocks. Use animal cutouts and create silhouettes. Allow your child to match one animal to its correct silhouette. Then use a set of alphabet blocks to form a long word - eg if the silhouetted animal is 'hippopotamus', then the blocks will form its name. Now allow your child to rearrange these letters to form new words. See how many words she can make from 'hippopotamus' - pot, hip, pop, tap, sat, map, pat, ship, shop, this, must, post, past.
