Are you looking for an activity that will keep your entire class engaged? This activity helps your students to learn ie, igh while working with each other.
Before using this activity, I like to use my ie, igh Picture and Word Sort or ie, igh Word Sort. This will give students the opportunity to practice with the skill before giving them just the pictures.
When I do this activity, I will first start by placing the ie and igh in a pocket chart. I will place them in a way that will allow them to be categorized. Then I will show the pictures and ask students which category the picture should go under. I make sure that all of the pictures go under the correct category. The next thing I do is take all of the pictures out of the pocket chart and give one card to each student. I will then call one student at a time to come put the picture under the correct category. I like doing my lesson in this order because it gives students the opportunity to work with me before I have them try to figure it out on their own.
Here some more detailed information about this activity.

Video
Ideas and Books that Teach ie and igh
-I wrote down videos that cover ie and igh. I also wrote down books and activities that
you can read or do that will help emphasize ie and igh.
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.
