PRONUNCIATION GRID: Think like this!

INSTRUCTIONS:

Try to find a path through the grid from START to FINISH, passing through only those words with the same “th” sound as in “think”. You may move horizontally or vertically at each step, but not diagonally.

Single player: Pronounce all the words as you go. Highlight the path you find.

Pairs: Decide who will begin. Each player needs a different colour of highlighter.

  • Player 1 - say “think” and highlight it. Now find the next word with the same “th” sound: say it aloud and highlight it if you are correct. How far can you get?
  • Player 2 – if Player 1 makes a mistake, it’s your turn. Start from “think” and make the chain as above. Highlight any word not yet coloured.
  • The winner is the person to get to the FINISH.
