🚌 Back to school · Picture dominoes
Cut out the tiles. Match each word to its picture — the chain closes into a loop. · Name: ____________
🎲 How to play
Deal the tiles. The first player lays any tile; the next must add a tile whose PICTURE matches the open WORD (or whose word matches the open picture). The loop closes when every tile is used.
🚌 Back to school · Loop cards
Cut, deal one card each. Listen for YOUR picture — the chain goes round the whole class.
I have the uniform.
Who has 📏?
I have the ruler.
Who has 📓?
I have the notebook.
Who has 🚌?
I have the bus.
Who has 🧑🏫?
I have the teacher.
Who has 🎒?
I have the backpack.
Who has 🏫?
I have the classroom.
Who has 🧑🤝🧑?
I have “friend”.
Who has 🍱?
I have the lunchbox.
Who has 🖍️?
I have the crayon.
Who has 🍎?
I have the apple.
Who has 📅?
I have the timetable.
Who has 👕?
🔁 How to play
Deal every card. Anyone starts: 'I have the cat. Who has the dog?' The child holding the dog answers and asks their own question. The loop ends where it began — time the class and beat yesterday's record.
🚌 Trace the words · Back to school
Say the word, trace the grey letters, then write it yourself!
Name: ______________
First column is the model — the child says it aloud, traces twice, then writes free-hand on the line.
🚌 Missing letters · Back to school
Look at the picture, fill in the missing letters, then write the whole word.
Name: ______________
Letters to use: a a e e e e e i i o o o o o o p u
Say each word together first. Younger children can cross letters off the bank as they use them; older ones fold the answers line under before they start.
How to use it in class
Print only what fits your class. Not every sheet suits every age — each one's range is listed under the title. The print preview shows the pages in order; type just the ones you want under “Pages”.
One pile, one unit. Poster and flashcards to bring the words in; bingo and dominoes to practise them; matching, word search and crossword as quiet work; loop cards as the last round; tracing to take home.
How many copies. One poster and one set of flashcards for the room; a bingo card per child or pair; one domino set per group of three or four; one set of loop cards per class; worksheets one per child.
