Long E Vowel Board Game

Long E Vowel Board Game

(0)
Long E Vowel Board Game Spell Quest is a board game which reinforces the Long E sound. The vowel teams included in the game are ee, ea, y, ie, ey as well as e_e. The game is broken up into four coloured sections: Green – Write the Word by looking at the picture. These cards have a QR code option (and one without QR codes) which will reveal the correct spelling once the code is scanned – making it self correcting. Blue – Use the Word in a Sentence. Orange – Draw the Word. Purple – Act the Word. Only the GREEN cards have QR codes. Drawing and Acting cards have been included to add a fun, creative element to the game. The cards still require the students to read the word and know the meaning of it in order to complete the task. A game board has also been included in this product and everything is in colour and black & white. The black & white version looks great copied onto the respective colored paper/card. An instruction card is also included. This game has been designed to co-ordinate with the other Long Vowel sound board games so that cards can be added to the packs as the sounds are covered in class – meaning the game can be adapted throughout the year. I trust your students will enjoy this activity! Margaux

Place the one side of the velcro on the back of the image and then the other side of the velcro in the box next to the word.

They have been grouped accordingly: words ending in –ab, -ad, -ag, -at, -an, -am, -ar and -ap. Here students choose the necessary pictures, cut and then paste them and write the word. The set of Word Wall cards can be used in two ways. Either you can keep the image attached to the word as a reference resource on your wall, or you can separate the picture and the word to create an interactive activity for students to match together. I trust you and your students will enjoy this product. Should you find it useful, you may want to leave some feedback by returning to the product page.
