PARTNER GAMES — STRESSED OUT CARD GAMES
Students play a shedding-style card game, matching word or picture cards to a draw card featuring stressed syllable cues, long vowel patterns, and wild cards — racing to get rid of all their cards and win. Each game includes a recording sheet for easy teacher check-ins.
Included for each spelling topic:
- Teacher Directions
- Word and Picture Playing Cards
- Student-Friendly Directions
- Recording Sheet
- Answer Key
INDEPENDENT ACTIVITIES — FOUR IN A ROW
Students spin a spinner, find a word or image on the game board matching the stressed syllable feature or word pattern spun, cover it, record it, and aim to cover four in a row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Can also be modified for partner play.
Included for each spelling topic:
- Teacher Directions
- 4 Word Boards
- 2 Spinners with Student-Friendly Directions
- Letter Tiles for Building Words
- Recording Sheet
- Answer Key
WHO ARE THESE GAMES FOR?
These activities are designed for students in the middle of the Syllables and Affixes stage who have a strong foundation with long vowel patterns in one-syllable words but often make mistakes when applying those same patterns to two-syllable words — for example spelling "waiter" as "water" or "parade" as "paraid."
Developed primarily for 3rd–5th graders, these resources can also be used in lower grades within small group lessons with teacher guidance. Because all games and activities across Unit 4 use similar formats, you only have to teach students how to play once — then enjoy the consistency and versatility all year long!
