At Phonics.com, we try to cater to all types of learners. We understand that some children work best when they utilise a combination of skills.

Here’s a list of five classic and fun games and activities that don’t need a screen or an internet connection!

1. ABC Reading Eggs – Beginning to Read Flashcards

These flashcards are an excellent way to practise reading and phonics skills. They feature 40 high frequency sight words and 36 word-building cards, as well as 5 fun games to play!

2. Scrabble Junior

Everyone’s favourite word game gets a colourful makeover. One side lets children match letter tiles on the grid. Turn it over, and older kids can come up with their own words like the original.

3. Boggle Junior

This classic word game has been re-imagined for young learners. Children learn word and letter recognition by matching the Boggle letter cubes to the pictures and words.

4. Rory’s Story Cubes

These little cubes are great to use as story starters. Each cube has images printed on the side, for more than 10 million possible combinations! There are several different sets to collect, including Voyages and Action, to help imaginations run wild.

5. Melissa and Doug Wooden Story Blocks

These wooden story blocks come with a frame that helps early learners answer the questions ‘Who?’, ‘What?’, ‘Where?’ and ‘When?’ about their stories. Each of the eight blocks has six colourful pictures to inspire and encourage creativity.
