How to play

  1. A voice says one word out loud.

  2. Fish swim past, each carrying a picture.

  3. Tap the fish whose picture matches the word.

  4. Right — a pearl drops into the shell.

  5. A wrong tap is safe: the fish swims off and the word comes again.

  6. Sound pairs work the same way — ship, or sheep?

Variations

Three ways to play it differently once the class knows the rules.

  1. Sound pairs

    Two words one sound apart — ship or sheep? Good for the sounds your class keeps mixing up.

  2. First sound

    Hear a word, tap the letters it begins with — the same fish, now for phonics.

  3. Show the word

    Readers can see the word written as well as hear it; hide it again to make it pure listening.
