Short Vowels - CVC Words - Phonics Games - End of the Year Activities

Introducing Knockout - the perfect way to make learning short vowel CVC words a fun and exciting experience for your kids! This action-packed phonics game is designed to keep your children engaged and moving while they practice CVC and short vowel words. With Knockout, students won't even realize they are learning as they compete to answer questions and eliminate their opponents. The first player to answer correctly gets to knock out other players and stay in the game, all while having an absolute blast! So why wait? Get ready to witness the pure excitement and educational bliss that Knockout brings to your student's learning experience!

A QUICK LOOK AT KNOCKOUT™ & HOW IT IS PLAYED

1 - Divide your class into 2 single file lines

2 - Display the first slide 

3 - The player at the front of his/her line faces off against the player from the other team: the first player to answer his/her question correctly wins and returns to the end of the line!

4 - The player who does not win goes to sit on the team "bench" to cheer on the team!

✋ BUT WAIT: That's not all.

If a player faces these slides, the following could happen:

✅ Double Free Pass: Both players automatically get to stay in the game!

✅ Double Knockout™: Both players are automatically out!

✅ Knockout™/Free Pass: One player leaves, one stays!

✅ Pick a Pal: Choose a player from the bench to return to the game!
