FARM ANIMAL THUNDERSTORM SOUNDS GAME - PHASE 1 PHONICS
A thunderstorm! Quick get round the farm and check on all the animals. They must be a bit frightened; they’re making a lot of noise!
The aim of this game is to encourage the link between images and specific repeatable sounds (Phase 1 Phonics/Letters & Sounds).
• Choose a game piece (either the tractors supplied or use counters/small world characters of your own)
• Roll the dice (choose dice with numbers appropriate for your children)
• Move your game piece along the board
• Make the right noise for the square you land on
• First to the finish is the winner!
(You may like to discuss the pictures with the children before playing the game and assign a sound to each image.)

DAISY THE COW DICE GAME
How many spots should Daisy the cow have on her back? Roll the dice to find out! A game to develop number recognition, counting skills, farm animal knowledge, turn taking skills and fine motor control with the placing of the spots. To differentiate for different ages of children you could for example use a 1-3 dice for younger children or extend older children by rolling 2 dice which would require children to do a subtraction equation to find the difference between the two numbers. This would then give them a resulting number of spots to place on the cow. Have fun!

FARM ANIMAL PICTOGRAM CHART ACTIVITY
Farm Animals Pictogram Chart pictures designed for children to not only think about their favourite farm animal, but also realise that others may not have the same favourite. In addition, children begin to learn about simple graphs and charts. Ideal for use in a classroom, preschool, nursery or childminder setting. Children do not have to necessarily complete the activity at the same time, but a chart can be added to a display and individual children can add their own favourites at appropriate times. Simply place the four large animals on the first page in a horizontal line to form the base of the chart and children can add their own favourite smaller animal above to create the vertical lines of a chart. The lengths of the lines can be compared and number of animals on each can be counted to find totals. Questions such as ‘How many children like chickens?’ may be asked. To really extend mathematical thinking, questions such as ‘How many more children like cows than pigs?’ could be delved into.
