Once you know the name of each Natter Knitter and can recognise them by sight then it is time to try the Natter Knitters Dice Game.
The game is simple and it complements and extends the sound cards.
It's a really fun way to develop spelling skills.
The Natter Knitters Dice Game
This game nicely blends phonemic awareness with common spelling patterns for the most common sounds
spoken in the English language.
To get started print the dice templates below onto a firm paper or a thin
card. Cut out each dice then
fold and glue. Alternatively
you could print the templates onto plain paper, cut and glue them onto the
surface of existing dice or any cube object that you think will make a
good dice.
Rules
All seven dice are thrown. In two minutes the players write down as many words as they
can from the seven sounds displayed on the dice.
Award a point for a correct arrangement of sounds into a word and
another point for the word being spelt correctly. After an agreed number
of rounds (I suggest five) the player with the most points wins.
