Free Editable Game Board | Names, Phonics, and Math Game Mat

Sometimes simple is exactly what you need! This free Editable Game Mat gives you one easy-to-customize game board that you can use again and again across literacy and math skills. The basic format is already created for you, but the content is fully editable so you can make it match exactly what your students are learning.

Edit the game directly in PowerPoint or load it into Google Slides and customize it there. Type in letters following your own phonics scope and sequence, decodable words, high frequency words, letters from a student’s name, numbers, addition or subtraction equations, or just about anything else you want students to practice.

Once customized, students simply roll, move, and read or solve what they land on. Special arrow spaces even allow students to move ahead by reading both letters or words, adding a little extra fun to the practice.

Because YOU choose the content, you can use the same familiar game format throughout the year while simply changing the skill. It is also an easy way to differentiate. Create different versions for individual students, intervention groups, or skills without having to teach students a brand-new game each time.

⚠️ Once edited, this free download is for classroom use only. Edited versions may not be shared on social media, uploaded to Teachers Pay Teachers, distributed online, or otherwise shared with others. ⚠️
