I am excited to be able to share my thoughts with you about Lakeshore's Can Do! Phonemic Awareness Game Show!
Although it is indicated for students in Grades 1-2, I played this with my kinderkids, who had so much fun practicing identifying and matching initial, final, and medial sounds.
I was able to put the software right into my computer and guided the student through the game.
I liked that the
Can Do! Phonemic Awareness Game Show
allows you to choose:
~ up to 4 different teams teams.
~ a futuristic player for each team.
~ the length of the game. There are options to play up to 4, 6, or 8 points.
~ whether or not you want instructions to play throughout the game or not.
~ to print out a score report at the end of the game. This report is broken down by each category (beginning, middle, and ending sounds).
~ to print out a pre and/or post assessment.

My students had fun selecting a player to represent themselves. When it was their turn, the robotic host told them to spin the wheel and answer a question to earn points. Each time a question is answered correctly, something fun happens to the avatars of the other players (the Ice Device is activated, the Super Gooper pours cheese, ketchup, dish soap, or some other goopy material on the players, etc...)
Thank you Lakeshore for allowing me to review the
It was definitely a hit and will be a great addition to help build my students' phonemic awareness! I keep hearing, "Can we play that robot game again?"
