Candy Alphabet Card Game

 

Are you looking for a quick game that will review or teach students the alphabet, then this is the activity for you?  I love using this game in my classroom.  I usually play this game while in small groups.  This 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 the game is to keep as many cards as you can.  When the game is over, whoever has the most cards wins.

How to play the game:

You can play the game by making two copies of the cards and then play Go Fish or Memory.  You can also print all of the cards and place them into a can or pencil box.  When a child pulls out a card, he/she has to say the letter name and sound to keep the card.  If he/she does not know the letter or the sound then the card is discarded.  When you get to the hard candies, the child that picked it, gets to take a card from someone else.  (The person that picked take a card gets to keep it).  When you get to the candy store, the game is over. (The person that picked the game over card gets to keep it.) When the game is over, count the number of cards.  Whoever has the most cards wins the game.

 

Modification: You can have students just tell you the letter or the sound.  If you have a student that struggles with letters and sounds, tell them the card that they picked and have them repeat it after you.  They still get to keep the card.

 

This activity comes with:

• 52 cards in color
• 52 cards in black and white
• 6 take a card cards
• 3 game over cards
• 9 cards blank that are in color
• 9 cards blank that are in black and white

Each card only has one letter on it.  The letters on the cards are upper and lowercase letters.  I also put some blank cards with the color pictures and black and white pictures.  You can use the blank cards to write in sight words or CVC words.

High Frequency Word Cards (Literacy First) List A and B

Do your students need more word recognition?  Then this activity is for you.  High Frequency words are words that you see the most often while reading.

I use these cards in different ways in my classroom.  I use them as passwords.  Students have to tell me the password before entering the classroom.  I have played whole group games like mingle and 2 circles.  The more students review the words the better they will remember them.

This activity comes with Literacy First List A and B word cards.  There are 200 word cards.

Each page has 8 word cards on it.  The word cards have 5 different colored borders.  The colored borders are pink, green, purple, orange, and blue. 

You can use these word cards for a word wall, flash cards, and games. 

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. 

My main goal is to have students walking around the room and reading the different words to their peers.
