Parking Lot Game
Comment from one of
our reviewers: "I did it exactly as directed. Within minutes I was bored
with the game, BUT the kids loved it and stayed forever, and new ones were
waiting in line for someone to leave! There was a great deal of conversation
about the pictures so it's extremely good for oral language—with my group even
more important than the phonics." It easily handles children on varying
levels.
Objectives
Children participating will be able to gives phonetic sound for
letters, identify letters, match letter on card to letter on game board, and
children 1-1 ½ years will be able to identify pictures by pointing or
gesturing Lang. IB
Materials
Game board: black
paper made into parking lot with a letter in each parking space (use white
chalk or crayon); toy cars; phonic picture cards.
Illustrations of game board and cards.
Procedures
1. Each child gets a toy car and a parking lot. Teacher holds up
a picture phonic card with a banana and letter B, says, "What sound does
"banana" begin with? Can you drive into the parking space which has
that letter?"
2. Younger children may need to be shown which parking space letter is the same
as the phonetic sound.
3. Proceed in this fashion using different phonic cards and helping children
associate the sound with the letter. They can also match the letter on the card
to the letter on the parking lot.
