Use 3 x 5 cards to make a Flip a Word game. Cut cards into 1/3 and
2/3 pieces. Write the onset (letter, blend, digraph) no the shorter
card and the rime (ack, eck, ick, ock, uck) on the longer card.
Laminate. Players take turns turning over one card from the onset
pile and one card from the rime pile. If they make a word, they can
keep the cards, if not they return it to the discard pile. Play
continues until all word options have been made. Include an
anchor chart for children who need extra help.
More Flip a Word game suggestions: short vowel CVC words, ang,
ing , ong, ung, silent e, two vowels together, plurals s vs. es

BANG
Write words on index cards or type on computer color-coding word
focus pattern or phonics’ rule. Decorate bag or box to match
memory maker. Students choose bag to play that matches teacher
selection or student need.
Players take turns drawing card out of container/bag. Student pulls
out a card. If student can read the card, he keeps it. If student
cannot read the card, he puts it back in the bag. If student pulls out
the BANG card, students must return all cards to the bag. Game is
over when all cards have been played or use a timer to end the
game. Player with the most cards wins.
Roll-a-Dice
Choose a phonics rule or word focus pattern on dice. Program the
dice with six different words following that pattern. Use the chart
provided to write words on paper. Student rolls the dice, reads the
word, and writes the word. Game is over when a player has all
columns filled with a 1st-6th place winner.
Bump It
Choose word study or phonics’ rule focus and write words on labels
using 2 different colors. Laminate labels. Each player chooses a
different color of words. Player draws a card, reads the word, finds
the match, and lays it on the match. Next player draws a card,
reads the word, finds the match on the game board and lays it on
the match. If player lands on a word that it already taken by the
other student, she may bump the word – or give it back to the
student. If the student already has a card on the word, she may lock
the word by placing a second card on top. Game continues until a
student runs out of cards.

and locate the pattern on the game. Student reads the word and
moves game piece to the word. Play continues until a student
