Blending Bowl is a literacy game that allows children to see and understand how sounds of letters can form words. You can find Blending Bowl by following this link: []

First choose a 'player' - the player is a sound such as 'est' or 'at'

Then select who will play against your player - the opponent will be the prefix of the word



The two football players will run towards each other, as they do a voice over will sound out your player's (the suffix) and your opponent's (the prefix) letters that you chose earlier
 * NOTE: It will be helpful for children to sound out the letters along with the voice overe to give them a better understanding of how they create a word **



When the football players crash together, the two sounds come together and form a word.
