Teachers R US: ie, igh Puzzle Match

Do you need a whole group or small group activity then this activity is for you?

During our lesson, I will place the ie, igh cards in a pocket chart. I will make sure that the cards are placed where I can make a category. I will then show students the words. We will sound each word out and then place the words under the correct category. When we have gone over every word, I will give each student a picture. They will place the picture over the word in the pocket chart. When we are done, I will take all of the words and pictures out of the pocket chart. I will then shuffle the words and pictures. After that, I will give a student either a picture or a word then have them find their match. I will do this until students are disinterested. This activity is a lot of fun for students and gets them up and moving.

I will use this activity in a whole group lesson before I use it in small groups or during centers. I like to use it in a whole group lesson, because it gives me the opportunity to show students how to sound out each word. It also helps me to see who is understanding and who needs extra time with this skill.

This activity can be used for literacy centers, whole group instruction, or small groups.

Video Ideas and Books that Teach ie and igh Words

-I wrote down videos, activities, and books that cover ie and igh words.

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 circles 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 circles 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.
