If you’ve been reading my blog for a bit now you may know that I’m a pretty big soccer fan. Although I never played, my three children played soccer ever since they were 4. I even coached for several years. I loved every minute of it! My youngest daughter, Lizzie, will be heading off to college in the fall and I will soon be “an empty-nester”. So not only will I miss the craziness of traveling to sporting events, I’ll to get used to a very quite house. Creating these soccer-themed activities has brought back so many wonderful memories of evenings and Saturdays spent at the soccer fields (sniff, sniff). I’m hoping your little soccer fans will enjoy them too.
The Short Vowel Shoot Out! activity is a fun twist on a classic sorting activity. Sorting activities are particularly helpful when students are having difficulty confusing those similar sounding vowels. This activity is easily differentiated as two sets of sorting soccer balls are provided. There are 60 soccer balls with short vowel pictures and 90 soccer balls with CVC words. Also contained in this activity are 7 different sorting templates varying in the number and which vowels to be sorted; therefore, you can tailor the activity specifically to the needs of your students.
The Short Vowel Shoot Out! activity is available in my online Teachers Pay Teachers store or through the Make, Take & Teach website.
For my little older soccer fans, I created the Let’s Play Soccer! for learning and practicing sight words and the Soccer Shoot Out! for long vowel sounds.
It’s a Goal! Dolch Sight Words Lists 1-9 is available through my Teachers Pay Teachers store or through the Make, Take & Teach website.
The Soccer Shoot Out! for long vowel sounds can also be found in my Teachers Pay Teachers store or through the Make, Take & Teach website.
