Years ago I made my first Chicka Chicka Boom Boom game on the computer. I made the numbers on word and stamped the colorful dots with a pencil eraser.
When I decided to give TPT a try I made a new version on word with my limited computer skills.
I did sell a few of my TPT version and it worked fine for most of my students. However, right now I am working with students who really struggle with identifying their letters. So I decided it would be a lot easier for them if I used a simple font for the letters and numbers. Also I only made the game in capital letters for the little ones that I am working with this year.
It has a lot more in it. So you can adjust the centers and your teaching to the needs of the learner.
When I put my materials together I put the uppercase and the lowercase back to back to save on laminate.
The boys in small group had a blast today playing the game. I was concerned that the letters were not sticking in their brains however after playing the game today I feel much better. They were excited about yelling out the letter names and singing the song to figure out what letter comes next. I feel like we are making progress.
