Build -A-Fence

Long Vowel Game Materials: Print game boards for students. Laminate. Prepare jumbo

Popsicle sticks and place in empty soup can. On Popsicle sticks write advanced code words from the

page included. Write the vowel code for each word on the opposite side. For example: side 1: rain.

Side 2: ai

Directions: Students working by themselves can draw sticks, read the words and sort them into

the correct ‘fence’. Students in groups can compete to be the first to build their fence. Divide the

game boards – give each student 1 or 2 boards. Each student takes a turn drawing a stick and read-

ing the word. Student then announces the word, the sound picture and the sound. They then give

the stick to the student with that fence. Cover the vertical fence gameboards with the popsicle

sticks to ‘build’ your fences!

*If students have difficulty – instruct them to flip the stick over and tell them what that vowel sound picture says.

For example student can’t read ‘rain’ – instructor shows student ‘ai’ sound picture and says this says ‘ai’. Then

student reattempts to read the word.
