Pictionary: Idea #39

Pictionary is a great game for all ages. All players get to guess, draw, and compete. This game can be played focusing on letter sounds. All you do is choose a letter sound that your student needs practice on. Then when it is your turn to draw, you must draw something that begins with that letter sound. For example, if the letter sound chosen was m, when it was my turn to draw I may draw a picture of a muffin. The rest of the players try to guess what I am drawing. The fun part is they can only guess things that begin with that particular letter sound.

If you only have two people (you and your student), just take turns drawing. If there are more players, just have everyone guess what the artist is drawing. Whoever is the first person to guess the picture correctly, gets to be the next artist. 

This game is nice because it doesn't involve any preparation on the teacher's part. You also don't need very many materials, just a paper and pencil (or white board and marker). 

I would recommend that you review with your student things that begin with the letter sound chosen before you start playing the game. Otherwise, when it is their turn, you could be waiting a while.
