Are you looking for CVC word games to use in your Kindergarten and Grade 1 phonics lessons? These decodable word games are a low-prep phonics activity which can be used to consolidate early phonics skills such as blending and segmenting of CVC words.
To play CRASH:
- Select the cards you wish to use and add some CRASH cards (I recommend printing at least 2 x copies of the Crash card page). Place face down in a pile.
- One student at a time takes a card from the pile. If they can decode the word, they keep the card. If they can’t decode the word, they get someone else in the group to help them read the word, then place at the bottom of the pile.
- If a CRASH card is pulled out, the student must place all the cards they’ve won back into the pile. The CRASH card remains out of the game.
- The winner is the person with the most cards at the end of the game.
What's included
- Over 160 CVC and VC words
- Separated into 6 sets - Short a words, Short u words, Short o words, Short e words, Short u words and Mixed CVC
- Crash Cards
If only focusing on a small group of words, I suggest printing 2 or 3 copies of each page so that there are enough cards for the game.
