FREE Rainbow Slide Letter Sorting Game
Was in the mood to create a new St. Patrick’s Day Springy game for you all. Here is what I came up with. This is a fun game that asks students to practice sorting letters in all sorts of different ways. Enjoy!!
Rainbow Slide Game
Materials
scissors
card stock
Preparation
Cut out “coins”
How to Play
Decide how you want the student to sort the letters. There are tons of possibilities depending on what you are working on. I have listed some ideas below.
Place the letters you plan to use the the side of the game board.
Explain to the student what how they will be sorting the letters. For example, in the following example, the student will sort capital letters and lower case letters.
The student chooses on “coin” and decides if it fits the sort. If it DOES, she slides it down the rainbow into the pot of gold. If it does NOT fit the sort, the coin is set aside.
Sorting Ideas
capitals/lower case
vowels/consonants
tall letters/short letters/hangdown letters
letters with lines/letters with circles
letters with curvy lines/straight lines
Letters with dots/letters with crosses
letters you recognize/letters you don’t
letters you know the sounds for/those you don’t
