Directions for Racetrack Game

The Racetrack Game

Players move around a track and match words in their hand with words on the track. This is a great way to examine long-vowel patterns.

Procedures This game for two to four players is played on an oval track divided into 20 to 30 spaces. Different words following particular patterns are written into each space, and a star is drawn in two spaces. A collection of 40-50 cards is prepared with words that share the same patterns. A number spinner or a single die is used to move players around the track.

1. Shuffle the word cards and deal six to each player. Turn the rest facedown to become the deck.

2. Playing pieces are placed anywhere on the board and moved according to the number spinner or die.

3. When players land on a space, they read the word and then look for words in their hand that have the same pattern. For example, a player who lands on night may pull sign and right to put in the winning pile. If they move to a space with a star, they dispose of any oddballs they might have (such as give) or choose a pattern.

4. The cards placed in the winning pile are replaced by drawing the same number from the deck before play passes to the next player.

5. A player who has no match for the pattern must draw a card anyway. 6. The game is over when there are no more cards to play. The winner is

the player with the most word cards in the winning pile. Adapted from: (Bear, D., Invernizzi, M., Templeton, S., & Johnston, F. 2004. Words their way: Word study for phonics, vocabulary, and spelling instruction. New Jersey: Pearson)

Freddy, the Hopping, Diving, Jumping Frog Game In this board game for two to four players, students sort words that end in –ing according to three categories.

Procedures Create a game board in a file folder using the lily pad template. Each lily pad is labeled with the words –nothing, -double, or –e drop. Prepare word cards by writing –ing words with doubling, e drop, or no change (i.e., hopping, diving, jumping). Add in penalty cards or bonus cards.

1. Place playing cards facedown. 2. Player 1 draws one card, reads the card aloud, and moves to the

closest space that matches the features of the word. For example, if the card says hopping, the player moves to the nearest space that says double.

3. A player who draws a penalty or advancement card must follow the directions on the card.

4. Upon reaching the home lily pad, a player must correctly read the words on the board in order to win. A player who misreads a word must move back five spaces and play continues.

Variations

1. Players draw for each other, read the word aloud, and the player whose turn it is must spell the word correctly before moving to the appropriate space.

2. Write uninflected forms on cards (hop, jump, dive), and have players write how the words would be spelled before moving to the appropriate place. Include an answer sheet with words in alphabetical order to check if there is a disagreement.

Greek and Latin Jeopardy A total of six students are involved in this game. Three students are the contestants: one student is in charge of the answers and question, one student is the scorekeeper, and one person can be the judge in case of the need to question a decision.

Materials: Enlarge the Latin Root Jeopardy board onto poster board, covering the questions with sticky notes. If available, make the jeopardy board on a SMART board template by creating a table with shades to cover each category. This game could also be created using transparency and overhead projector. Students may record scores on whiteboards with dry erase markers.

Procedures The teacher should go over the rules of the game first.

1. The game is modeled after the Jeopardy television game. The answer will appear when it is uncovered in this version. The players must phrase their answers in the form of a question.

Answer: Coming from the Latin root meaning “to draw or pull,” its definition means “a machine for pulling heavy loads.” Question: What is tractor?

2. Determine who will go first. The player will select the first category and point value. The leader uncovers the clue and reads it aloud.

3. The first player responding correctly adds the point amount of the question to his or her total and chooses the next category and point amount. An incorrect answer means that the points are subtracted.
