Here is a Short Vowel Word Family Game with a few seasonal twists!
I was inspired to tweak a version of this common game when I saw these cute
containers at our local grocery store.
There are so many ways to play. Here are a few suggestions:
Materials:
Add
the word family cards you’d like to play with.
Beginner:
Play with only one word family set (with
or without nonsense words).
Advanced:
Include real and nonsense word cards for
more than one word family.
To
Play:
Shuffle
the cards and place them face down on a flat surface or put them in a decorative
bag/container.
Pull
a card. If the player reads the card
correctly they keep it. If the player
selects an “Uh, Oh!” card they must return all of their cards! There is also a bonus card that you get to
keep if you draw it!
Play
continues until all the cards are gone.
Count your cards and celebrate! You could also sort your cards into piles of
real and nonsense words. Count those
totals for fun too!
