Race to the Top Blends & Digraphs Pack Print & Play: Low-Prep Learning Games With TWO Levels of Play! Level 1: A single consonant sound is compared to a blend or digraph that features that consonant sound (example: s and st). Great for kids that are being introduced to blends. Level 2: Two different blends or digraphs are compared to one another (example: sh/ch). This works best for kids who are ready for more of a challenge with blends and digraphs. Variation: This game can be played with 1 OR 2 players. If there is only 1 player, that player moves both markers for each jogger towards the top. If there are 2 players, each player picks a jogger/beginning sound. He moves his marker only if he lands on a square with a picture that has that beginning sound.
