Black and White Word Cards
I made a card for every Digraph word used in this activity.  You can either send the cards home or create games using the cards like Memory or Go Fish.  I left some blank so you can fill in your own words.

 

Lesson Plan
I created a lesson plan that can be used for this literacy activity.  The lesson plan comes with common core state standards and ideas on how to use this activity.
 

Video Ideas and Books that Teach the Digraphs
I wrote down videos that cover Digraphs.  I also wrote down books that you can read that will help emphasize Digraphs.
 
Here is an example on how to use this activity: 

I play several games with word cards as a whole group.  The main games that I play that my students love is mingle and 2 circle game.  Mingle is where you give each student a card.  You start the game by saying “mingle”.  Students will walk around the room until you say stop.  When you say stop, students are to find the closest person to them to partner up with.  They read their card to them and then switch cards.  I repeat this game until students lose interest.  The 2 circle game is where I have students get into 2 circles (an inner and outer circle).  When they get into their circle they make sure that they have a partner that faces them.  Students read their card to their partner and switch cards.  Then I have the inner circle move to the right one time.  Continue to do this until students have made a complete circle.  You can also give each student a picture or a word card.  Then have them find its match.

Pumpkin Alphabet Match Game

Are you looking for a quick game that will review the alphabet, then this is the activity for you?  I love using this game in my classroom.  This game could be used in whole group or small group.  This game gives me the opportunity to really pay attention to what letters and sounds my students know, and which ones they do not know. 

The object of this game is to review letters and sounds.

This can be played in multiple ways:

• Match the Alphabet
• Write the Room
• Alphabet Card Game
• Go Fish
• Memory
• Mingle
• 2 Circles
• 4 Corners
• Get Up and Match
• Hide and Seek
• Uppercase to Lowercase/Puzzle
• Writing Worksheet

Match the Alphabet 
You will want to print two sets of cards. Have students put the first set laid out on the floor. The second set is to be used to match the alphabet. Students will continue to find their alphabet match until all cards are gone. Students could play in partners. If they play in partners then the second set of cards will be split into two groups. Whoever matches all of their cards first is the winner. Another way to play the game is by using a timer. If they beat the timer they win the game.

Write the Room 

Place the alphabet cards around the room. Give students a worksheet. Students will go around finding each letter. When students find a letter, they will then write it onto their worksheet.

Uppercase and Lowercase/Puzzle 

Cut the cards in half where the uppercase is on one side and the lowercase is on the other. Students will then match uppercase and lowercase together. Modification: Uppercase and lowercase can be played in the other games. The only modification would be to cut the cards in half so students could match uppercase to lowercase.

Alphabet Match 

Print off 2 sets of cards. Only cut one set out. Leave the other set put together. Students will use the cut out set to match to the set that is still put together.

Go Fish or Memory 

You can play the game by making two copies of the cards and then play Go Fish or Memory. 

Mingle 

Mingle is where you give each student a card. You start the game by saying “mingle”. Students will walk around the room until you say stop. When you say stop, students are to find the closest person to them to partner up with. They read their card to them and then switch cards. Repeat the game until students lose interest. 

2 Circles 

The 2 circles game is where students get into 2 circles (an inner and outer circle). When they get into their circle they make sure that they have a partner that faces them (inner circle faces outer circle). Students read their card to their partner and switch cards. Then the inner circle moves to the right one time. Continue to do this until students have made a complete circle. 

4 Corners 

Number the corners of the classroom from 1 to 4. Give each student an alphabet card. Count students of 1 to 4. All of the students that are 1 will go to the number 1 corner. All of the students that are 2 will go into the number 2 corner. All the students that are 3 go into the number 3 corner. All the students that are 4 go into the number 4 corner. Students first share with their group the card that they have. They will discuss the sound and the letter that is on it. Once all students have had a time to talk then call out numbers. Example: call out groups 1 and 2. Those groups will come to the middle and find a partner. They will show that partner their card, tell them the sound, and the letter that is on it. Then partners switch cards and go back to their original corner. Next group would be 3 and 4. Continue to do this until all corners have been called. 

Get Up and Match 

Print 2 sets of cards. Students are given one card. Make sure that matches have been passed out. Students will go find a friend that has the same card as them. Once they have found their match, they stay next to each other until everyone finds a match to their card. 

Hide and Seek part 1 

Hide cards around the room. Have students go find a card and come back to their seats. When all cards are found, have them tell their shoulder partner what card that they have.

Hide and Seek part 2 

Print 2 sets of cards. Hide one set of cards around the room. Hand the other set to students. Students should only get one card each. Once all cards are passed out have them go find their matching card around the room. When they have found it they will come back to the carpet to show their shoulder partner which one they found.

Writing Worksheets:

Have students place the alphabet cards into a pile. Students will pick one card at a time. The letter that is on the card, they will write down on the worksheet. If students use the dotted alphabet worksheet, when they pick a card they will find that letter on the worksheet, and trace it.
