Alien game

These game cover all the phase 5 sounds except u-e. The maths just wouldn't work out to make all the sounds.

All you need is a die and some counters (2 colours, each person has a different colour). Take in turns to throw the die, read the corresponding sound and then find a word with that sound. Read the word and then cover with your counter. If all the words are gone then you miss a turn. At the end of the game the person with the most counters on their board wins.
