Video: The Name Game

See it in action the first week of school

If you’re not familiar with the Name Game, read this post about it when you have time. Then, see the Name Game in action in my classroom the first week of school in the video below.

The Name Game is a highly engaging activity that includes phonemic awareness and phonics and teaches students how to approach words in a way that promotes orthographic mapping with all words. As with most activities in kindergarten, it will change and grow as the students’ concepts and skills grow over time. Sign up to see how this activity morphs throughout the weeks and months.
