Differentiated Pet Games
Since this is an editable board game, differentiation is made easy! You can reach all of your students at their level and create game boards that will help them work on the skills they need to practice most, all while giving each student the exact same game board.
Another great benefit is that you’ll only need to teach them how to use the game board once and then they will be set to use the game board with any activity with success independently.
Here are some ideas for differentiating with this pet theme board game:
- Students roll a dice, move that many spaces, land on a letter, and say its sound.
- Students will roll a dice and move to the space with the same number on it. (Can use 6-sided dice, 10-sided dice, or even ten-frame dice.)
- Students roll two dice, add the numbers together, and move to a space with that sum on it.
- Players will roll a cube with a letter written on each side and then move to space that matches the letter rolled.
- Students will roll a dice, move that many spaces, land on a word, and read it out loud.
- Players will roll a cube with blends or digraphs written on each side. Students roll the cube and move to a space with a word that includes that blend or digraph.
- On a cube, write 1 on two sides, 2 on two more sides, and 3 on the remaining two sides. Students roll a 1, 2, or a 3 and move to a word with that many syllables.

Playing the Pet Board Game

To use the game board with letters of the alphabet, you can have your students roll the dice and move to the correct space on the game board. When they land on a letter, have them say the name of the letter and the sound it makes. You could even have them tell you a word that begins with that sound.
This game board can be used for the middle grade levels too! This would be an excellent way to practice multiplication and division facts for older students. You could even use this to practice vocabulary words for those older grades.
