About this resource
Description
A consonant blend is two consonants whose sounds you hear together at the start of a word, like cr in crab or st in star. This brick breaker consonant blends activity turns blend practice into a race to knock down a wall, so 1st and 2nd grade students listen for beginning blends again and again.
Each player gets a Brick Wall game mat with twelve picture bricks, and the group shares a printed blend spinner with br, cr, fl and st. Players take turns spinning, find a brick whose picture begins with that blend, write the blend in the brick’s box and color the brick to break it. The first player to break every brick wins. The two walls use the same pictures in a different order, so the answer keys make checking quick. A 1st grade practice worksheet asks children to circle the blend that begins each word and write it in the box.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with materials, prep tips and simple steps
- 2 Brick Wall game mats with 12 picture bricks each
- A printable br, cr, fl and st blend spinner
- A 1st grade practice worksheet with six new pictures
- Answer keys for both brick walls, plus the practice answer key
Why This Activity Helps Kids
First, saying each picture name aloud trains children to hear both sounds in a blend. Second, writing the blend links the sounds to letters, which builds spelling. Third, the spinner and the race to break a wall keep every child eager for one more turn.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Slide the mats into sheet protectors and use dry-erase markers for a reusable phonics center. Play as partners, in a small group, or as a quick warm-up before reading. This 1st grade beginning sounds activity also makes a fun take-home game. Pair the brick breaker consonant blends activity with the resources below for more blends practice.
