Teachers R US: Bossy R (AR, ER, IR, OR, UR) Activities and Games

This is a fun activity that gives students the opportunity to play different games and activities while learning the Bossy R. I like to place these activities in centers. My students really like playing these games. It gives them the opportunity to work with their friends while doing school work.

In this activity you will find 6 activities:

a word sort
puzzle match
picture and word sort
word match
picture sort
Go Fish/Memory

All of these activities make learning so much fun. I do want to suggest that you make sure that you teach students how to do each activity before expecting them to do it on their own. This will help make sure that your centers run smoother.

Here is more detailed information on what you will find in this activity:

Word Sort:

~Have students sort between the words that start with each Bossy R. Another game is placing the words around the classroom. Once they have found a word then have them place it under the correct Bossy R. I have also played a game where I give each student a card and have them get into two circles (one outer and one inner). I have one circle move clockwise one at a time reading each other their words.

~This activity comes with 2 worksheets.

1. The first worksheet is fill in the blank. Students have to look at a picture and figure out which Bossy R to use. At the bottom of the worksheet is Bossy Rs. Students then have to write the words from above under the correct Bossy R.
