Blends board game

Students need to work in pairs and throw a coin (heads, move 1; tails move 2). Each time they land on a blend they need to write down a word with that blend in it. Great when laminated.

Carrie was inspired to create this game after she saw a similar idea created by Mo Hammond, Liverpool.
