Freebie - Irregular Vowels Game

I just finished up running records with my 5th graders last week and one goal jumped out at me for almost all of them - irregular vowels.


No matter what level they are reading on, many were tripped up by these tricky sounds! I decided to put together a game for Word Study this week and I would like to share it with everyone!

This freebie includes one game board featuring 11 irregular vowel sounds:

igh - examples: sight, night, light, bright

ng - examples: bang, long, ring, sung

ost - examples: host, ghost, most, post

ow - examples: cow/bow or low/row 

oi - examples: hoist, moist, coil boil, foil

oo - examples: book/look/took or goose/loose

ous - examples: famous, joyous, nervous, anxious

au - examples: fault, haul, vault

sion, tion - examples: information, lotion, mission, vision

augh - examples: laugh, daughter, taught 

ough - examples: cough, rough, tough

It also includes rules of play, a key to help students understand the sounds these irregular vowels make, and a score sheet. This score sheet works well as an exit slip!
