Practise key autumn vocabulary with these differentiated wordmats.

The wordmats can be used in lots of different ways:

1) I spy with my little eye … a squirrel! (children point at the squirrel or place their rubber on it, for example).  This can also be done as pairwork.

2) colour dictation - I spy with my little eye … a brown acorn!

3) bingo - each child chooses three pictures and places something on them, e.g. counters/glass nuggets.  The teacher draws the picture cards at random and once their three have been called, the children shout 'Bingo!'.

This can also be played in groups with a bingo master for each group.

4) hide the wordcards / flashcards around the room and the children label the pictures themselves = copy-writing

Differentiation: they use a pencil to write the words how they think they are spelt and then find the word cards in the room to check their work.

If you want to spend more time on the topic of autumn, I also have games to consolidate the key words, an autumn poem and story walk.
