About this resource
Practise reading and writing CVC words with these fun AN word family dice games. Students will practise recognising, reading, writing and spelling words with the AN rime.
What is Included:
Dice templates to go with each of the game mats
Seven recording mats that go with one of the dice sets.
To play, students will roll the dice. Depending on the mat they are using, students will colour, trace, cover, graph, or write the word or image that was rolled. By having many activity mats, these games can be easily differentiated for those students that need more support. These dice games make great literacy or phonics stations or centres.
More Ways to Use these Dice Games:
For a single player game, students can use the tracing worksheets to trace the word or picture they rolled.
For a single player game, students can use the grid worksheets to colour or cover the word or picture they rolled.
For a single player game, students can create a graph by rolling the dice a set number of times, then filling in the blank grid squares by colouring or covering the spaces.
For a partner game, students can play Three in a Row. To play, students use the grid paper with the words in a random order. Students take turns rolling the dice and colouring or covering the words in the grid. The first player to get three words in a row wins.
For a partner game, use the tracing pages to roll and take turns tracing the words or picture rolled. The player who traces the most words at the end of time wins!
Skills Assessed
Blending of Onset and Rime in CVC Words
Reading, Tracing, Writing and Spelling CVC Words
The dice game mats require no prep. They just need to be printed out and put in the centre or station you wish to use them in. The dice will need to be assembled. You will need to print them out on card stock or other heavy weight paper, cut, fold and tape together. The mats can be laminated to make them reusable, especially if you need to save paper. Dry-wipe markers can be used on the writing and tracing mats.
