It’s nighttime and Mr. Owl is out to catch some coloured fireflies that only appear at night. Have your students help Mr. Owl catch fireflies that contain different digraph pictures.

This interactive PowerPoint game challenges your students’ knowledge in identifying pictures with digraphs. Each set contains the digraphs ch, ck, ng, sh, th, and wh. To catch a firefly, the student must click the firefly that has the correct picture based on the given digraph. For example, upon choosing the “ch” set, the students must find all five fireflies with the digraph “ch.” The game ends when all fireflies are caught.

This game is the perfect review activity after studying all six digraphs.

You can optionally divide your class into five groups to make this activity more engaging. For each set of digraphs, all groups will then take turns in clicking and catching the moving fireflies.
