Make teaching phonics fun with these engaging, hands-on chatterboxes! Also known as fortune tellers and cootie catchers, these fun paper toys will have your students engaged and ready to learn.

This set includes 40 low-prep chatterbox templates perfect for reviewing phonics skills such as phoneme-grapheme correspondences, split digraphs and vowel digraphs. There are 40 phonics chatterboxes – so you could introduce one per week. Quick and easy setup plus clear student directions make these fortune tellers perfect for centers or substitute days, too!

Your students will love colouring, cutting and folding their own phonics chatterboxes, and then playing the game with their friends. They won’t even realise they’re learning!
