Learning through game play makes learning more fun. I love to make pocket chart games to hang around our home-school classroom to help with ‘dead time’. Dead time is when one child has a question but I am working one on one with another child. (I home-school 3 children in 3 different grades.) I simply ask her to do a ‘sponge’ activity (an activity like a wall game or folder game that ‘sucks’ up dead time) until I can get to a good stopping point with the first child.

This consonant blends game makes the perfect activity as a pocket chart game. The game play is easy. The child simply matches the penguin with the letters of the consonant blend to the penguin with the picture that shows an object with the same consonant blend beginning sound. Write the correct answers on the back of the picture penguins and you have a self correcting game! Don’t have a pocket chart? That’s okay play this game as a memory match game instead. Either way consonant blend sounds have never been more fun to learn!
