INDEPENDENT ACTIVITIES — FOUR IN A ROW

Students spin a spinner, find a word or image on the game board matching the stressed syllable or vowel 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

WHO ARE THESE GAMES FOR?

These activities are designed for students in the middle of the Syllables and Affixes stage who have likely worked with many of these vowel patterns in one-syllable words but need a refresher as they apply them to two-syllable words and focus on the accented syllable.

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 5 use similar formats, you only have to teach students how to play once — then enjoy the consistency and versatility all year long!
