Tricky Word Games
Splat – Write tricky words on pieces of paper or use flash cards, then using fly swatters or wooden spoons get ready to see who can splat the tricky word that’s said first. Great with more than one player, but equally good fun with one.

Snap – tricky words are all about sight recognition so having several copies of each word and getting children to match the words into piles or play snap the traditional way with you or a friend.
