Spelling Pegs

by Get Reading Right on 28 Feb 2014

This simple game gets children using their fingers (awesome for fine motor skills) to spell words to match the pictures!

All you need are some pegs, a marker pen and 100% decodable picture cards (you could use our Picture This! cards).

If you would like to use this game for another part of the code – simply use one of our word lists in the Toolkit and download the pictures from Google!

Make your own picture cards or place the Picture This! picture cards in a pile
Write the target graphemes on your pegs, remembering to make a few copies of each grapheme so that children can play with many pictures at once
Children then pick a picture and find the pegs with the correct graphemes to represent the phoneme
They then peg the graphemes onto the picture in the correct order, to spell the word

Happy Pegging!
