Head down to the farm where learning and hard work go hand in hand! In this hands-on digital game, students complete a variety of farmyard tasks by answering phonics questions correctly. From planting seeds to mending fences and harvesting crops, there’s always something to do!

This version of the game focuses on the digraph /ch/. Students are shown an image and must choose the correct matching word that contains the /ch/ sound. It’s a fun and interactive way to reinforce phonics knowledge through visual prompts and real-world vocabulary.

Let’s Farm – CH Words supports early reading development by encouraging students to listen, segment, and recognise key sounds in context. Some tasks may require multiple questions to complete, helping keep engagement high and reinforcing understanding as the farm transforms with their success!

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Identify words that contain the /ch/ digraph
