1st Grade Phonics Hands On Game Bundle

Make Phonics the Best Part of the Day—All Year Long!
Tired of reteaching game directions every week? This 1st Grade Phonics Hands On Game Bundle was designed to make your life easier and your students’ learning way more fun.

With 350+ low-prep phonics games across 5 easy-to-learn formats, you’ll have everything you need for centers, small groups, early finishers, sub days, and more—all in one place.

Here’s what you’ll get: (350+ TOTAL GAMES!)
✅ 85+ Grab It Games
✅ 50 Playing Card Games
✅ 100+ Domino Games
✅ 40 Build It Games
✅ 100+ Crossword Puzzles
✅ Every 1st grade phonics skill covered

Whether you’re looking to build fluency, reinforce concepts, or make phonics time something kids look forward to, this bundle has your back.

These games feel like play—but they’re packed with purpose.
Your students will be engaged. You’ll be prepped and ready. And your phonics block? Handled.

⭐ What Makes This Bundle So Powerful?

You get five thoughtfully designed game formats that students love and teachers rely on. Each one was created to maximize engagement, reinforce essential skills, and reduce your workload.

🧠 Game Type #1: Build It Games

Students solve a problem—and add a piece to a themed picture. Whether it’s building an ice cream sundae, a castle, or a rocket ship, every correct answer helps them “build” their way to the finish.

Why it works:
This format keeps kids motivated to complete the whole page. They stay focused, take pride in their work, and get built-in repetition without complaints.

🖐 Game Type #2: Grab It Games

A fast-paced fluency game where students race to find and grab the correct answer from a set of cards.

Why it works:
It turns fluency practice into a high-energy competition that kids beg to play. It’s perfect for reading centers, early finishers, or even as a whole-group warm-up.

🃏 Game Type #3: Playing Card Games

Each deck turns phonics practice into a classic card game—like Go Fish, War, Memory Match, and more.

Why it works:
You get 15 ways to play with every deck, so you can reuse them again and again without boredom. It also helps students practice comparing, sorting, and matching in ways that feel totally fun.

🧩 Game Type #4: Crossword Puzzles

Each puzzle builds both phonics and spelling skills. Students reading phonics words, then write the word in the crossword.

Why it works:
Kids love the puzzle-style format, and it secretly strengthens spelling, handwriting, and number word recognition—without them even realizing it.

🔗 Game Type #5: Domino Games

Students solve, match, and connect the dominoes in long chains that reinforce a wide variety of phonics concepts.

Why it works:
Dominoes are naturally interactive and self-checking. Students stay engaged as they figure out what comes next and complete the whole chain—great for building independence.

💡 Built for Real Classrooms

✔️ No extra materials required
