Learning Resources - Sunken Treasure Adventureÿ  Phonics Beginning Blends Game

This crazy octopus holds the keys to winning a treasure. Kids can follow its tentacles and collect blend cards as they make their way toward the treasure. They will learn phonics by matching the beginning blends to word endings, scoring points for each word that they make. For 2-4 players.

Just the thing for young deep-sea word hunters everywhere, this simple phonic board game features a 12-by-17-inch game board with a mean-looking piratical octopus in the middle. Use the spinning arrow to determine your number of moves and match the word-beginning cards (shaped like key tops) with the ending cards (shaped like key ends). It's -ain that you'll end up -ing it (cert-, enjoy-)--and learn- a lot too (-ing)! But, if you wa- to win, you must -ke the most wo- (-nt, ma-, -rds). --Richard Farr
