Updated for 2022 with a new, clean look!
There are seven game boards:
• igh (ex: fright, bright, limelight, airtight…)
• ng (ex: tongue, slung, fling, wrong…)
• ous and ost (ex: joyous, serious, ghost, almost…)
• ow and oo (ex: grow, plow, moose, book…)
• au and oi (ex: gauze, clause, hoist, foil…)
• tion and sion (ex: mention, fiction, erosion, fusion…)
• augh and ough (ex: laugh, caught, through, dough…)
I also included a key to help them decode these words. It has a description of the sound the vowels make, as well as examples.
The score sheet makes a great exit slip. It allows me to see how well each group worked together, and I am able to assess whether or not we need to do a whole class review on one of the sounds.
As a lot of these words are higher level, many of my students use a dictionary (online or a book) to look up the words prior to writing their context sentence. This is a nice way to build vocabulary while they play the game.
This set is available in my TpT shop, and there is also another version.
My students could definitely use a refresher in the variety of sounds that these 11 vowels can make.
