Ending Blends Games


ending blends game boards - 7 games to help reinforce tricky ending blends


I have always noticed, that when working on blends with my students I tend to focus on the beginning ones the most, when the ending blends are just as tricky!


I wanted to create a game that would help them to decode the these blends in a fun way!

This set includes 7 game boards:

  • lf/lt ending blends: ex: left, calf, gift, wolf and golf
  • lt/lp ending blends: ex: belt, gulp, salt, tilt and pulp
  • mp ending blends: ex: lump, camp, swamp, bump and grump
  • nd ending blends: ex: hand, blind, sand, fend and sound
  • nk/sk ending blends: ex: bank, task, flunk, pink and desk
  • nt ending blends: ex: slant, mint, tent, burnt and plant
  • and st ending blends: ex: roast, last, twist, frost and vest






























I wanted to make specific boards for each sound combination so you can really focus in on the ones that are the trickiest for your class. There is a mix of long and short vowel sounds on all of these game boards.

There are rules of play, a score sheet for assessing, and a sample score sheet that helps your students understand how to fill it out included as well.

I also included gray scale copies of all the pages. These can be sent home for additional practice!

This set is available in my TpT shop!
