Description
A no-prep, print and go partner activity! This is a classic game with an educational twist. Play is essential when teaching young learners and these phonics games will help your students have fun while reading, writing, and blending cvc words.
Directions:
Partner students up in a way that best fits your classroom needs. Each student will need one colored pencil/crayon (make sure partners get different colors). Each player will need a recording sheet, but partners will share one game sheet.
Partners will take turns drawing lines, connecting 2 dots each time (vertical or horizontal- no diagonal). Whoever finishes the 4th line of a box will color in the word with their color. The goal is to make as many boxes as possible, while limiting the number of boxes your partner gets. The player with the most boxes wins!
Students will track the words they color on their recording sheet. (Students may fill all boxes before the game is over, or they may not fill all the boxes. That’s ok!)
