I've been looking for some new word games to play with my toddler to help her with reading. 
I started by making a list of games I wanted to try and then I thought I might as well share it on brillkids.  
So,here is a list of some of my ideas and some of other peoples ideas found along the way.

Please feel free to add your own word game below.
Remember these are games so they should be fun and not forced.
If the child is not having fun then stop.




WORD GAMES

Write different looking words onto stickers and stick them all around the house and out in the garden. Keep them in lower case and clearly written. Point them out to your child as you go about your day and soon enough they will point them out to you. 
Extend on this by making a phrase out of those words eg 'table' can become 'little table' or 'big table', 'door' becomes 'open door', 'ball' becomes 'yellow ball'

Have the child drive a toy car from written word to written word as you read them to the child.

Write words on their toy blocks and make phrases out of them. 

Use a recent interesting family photo and start a written story in a scrap book eg a picture of the family dog wearing a hat and glasses. First write the word "dog" then a week later add "dog has a hat" then a week or more later "dog has a blue hat" "dog has blue hat and glasses" have at least five photos to start with and keep adding photos as you go. Think of the end sentence before you start tho so you have a bit of a plan for each photo.

Show words when you go out into town no matter how hard they look. Read the words that your child shows interest in. 

Write words in the sand at the beach, sandpit anywhere.

Make a photo book of their favourite teddy going on an adventure in house and the garden, add words that they are learning. Make it match what the child will see everyday. Eg teddy go to the door, teddy wears big shoes, teddy is brushing his teeth etc

Keep writing new words frequently for your child.

Go to the library frequently, allow your child to pick their own books. Find books with words spaced far apart or have fewer words per page. Point as you read the words, guide your child's finger under the words.

When reading a book together and you come across a word you know; your child can say or sign then pause and give the child time to show you that they know the word. Ask them what the word is.Read the book together.

Add word stickers to your own books, change them to match your child's interests at the time. If you use stickers you can always take them off again. Masking tape works really well for this also. eg the Spot books have quite big words and have quite simple pictures, you can make the pictures come more alive by adding other words next to the pictures and make them even more interesting for your child.

Have pictures of animals with the word of the animal on the back or on the front. Add valcro to the picture and to the childs bedroom wall so your child can pull them off and look at them and stick them back on whenever they want. Later they could even try and make their own story with words and pictures.

Use sign language with the written word, the child may sign the written word before they can say the word.

Play matching games, have your child match two or three phrases with correct objects eg 'red shirt' 'blue shirt' 'green shorts' 'yellow shorts' place randomly on floor and have your child match them. Start small with words you think your child knows and build up.

Teach phonics, show your child the letter B and say "buh" show five words/pictures starting with B and emphasize the "buh" sound for each word. Stick it to the bedroom wall to remind you to do it, change them around every now and again.

Write words your child has never seen before eg "yesterday" "laptop". Ask your child "what word says laptop" if your child points to "yesterday" don't tell them they are wrong just say something like "this word is yesterday..." pointing at yesterday " ..and this word is laptop" repeat this several times with different words but make sure it is fun and not like you are testing them.
If they are not enjoying, then stop.

Write down words from the same phonetic family 'hat, cat, sat, that' read each word aloud as you point to it. Then add a different word like "bat" and ask your child to try and read that word. Repeat this game with several other word families eg 'it' and 'an'


What other word games have parents used? Please share

Oh boy I could add lots to this list!
Here are a few more
Print words onto a wall,( inside fly shapes?)  use a fly swat have your child slap the words as you call them out. Start with two words and work up to ensure success
Bury words in shreded paper or packing beads, read them as your child finds them.
Fishing for words! Magnet on the end of a string and stick will pick up words with a paperclip attached.
Body part words with double sided tape on them= hours of fun sticking words onto mummy or the dog smile
Word hop scotch.
Snap and go fish can be made with words, as can twister.
Write words on balls, catch and read. Or write lots of words on a large ball and read where your hands catch/land on the ball.
Word footprints. Print words onto foot prints ( buy them precut from craft stores or $2 shops) stick them around the house, as you step on them they need to be read.
Hi five words, put handprints on doors with a word on it, kids hi five slap the word and read it before entering a room.
My kids also like roll say keep. It's a dice game. The "game card" has a space for each number 1-6 you put a flash card word on each number then take turns rolling the dice. If you roll a 4 and can read the word on the 4 space you get to keep the card ( replace the word with a new one).

This is my son's absolute favorite game right now that he requests all the time. It is for learning initial letter sounds and phonological awareness.   I have pictures of some animals taped to a metal cookie sheet:

bee
dog
cat
fish
pig

I put the refrigerator magnet letters (b, d, c, f, p)  inside plastic eggs.  He opens the egg and then we match the letter to the animal.  At first he was only interested in opening the eggs.  I would say "This is 'kuh' for cat," and match it myself.  Now he is starting to tease me by matching the letter to the wrong picture.  He'll put the c on the dog-- I am pretty sure he does it wrong on purpose.   I say, "Oh it is 'kuh' for cog!"  He thinks it's real funny. 

We've been teasing each other for a couple months now by mixing the speech sounds up when we talk.  It started with our dogs Molly and Lucy.  I called them Lolly and Mucy one time to see if I could make him laugh and he thought it was the most hilarious thing.  He loves his doggies and loves seeing pictures of them so I also made a LR file changing the first letter of their names with all the letters.  Like for Molly - bolly, colly, dolly, etc.  Each "word" has its own picture. 

He is also basketball obsessed and the other day he started calling his ball a "bisketball" and a "beesketball."  I thought that was cool because it shows he has some phonemic awareness to be able to manipulate the sounds himself like that.  So needless to say I then made him a LR file changing the letters in the word "basketball."  He loves it and I think it is a good way for him to start to see how letters connect together to make words.
