CVC Rhyming-Word Dominoes
This twist on the familiar game of dominoes helps reinforce words that belong to the same word family.
Laminate and then cut them apart.
1. Give groups of three to four students a set of cards. Have them place the cards in the center of the group.
2. Have the first player choose a domino and place it in the center of the playing area. Have the next player choose the next domino and try to connect it to the first by matching rhyming words. If the connection is made, the play continues to the next child. If no connection can be made, the child keeps the domino for another time and the next child takes a turn.
3. Players continue connecting cards until no more matches can be made. They may use dominoes they were unable to connect on previous turns or select a new domino from the set.
Challenge>
Stock a center with copies of blank domino cards. As students learn new word family spelling patterns, they can create new domino games to play.
The large the size the greater will be its power to catch students’ attention.
