This is a fun SMARTboardâ„¢ phonics activity in which students choose beginning sounds for a word family ending. When students tap a beginning sound, a video clip pops up and one of the Outfit7 "talking friends" (Talking Tomâ„¢, Talking Gingerâ„¢, etc) states the letter and word (or nonsense word) and does a short, funny skit illustrating it.
Word families included are -all, -at, -ip, -et, and -ain. Beginning sounds are mostly single consonants with a few blends and one digraph (th).
