CVC: Fishing for CVC Words

Can you believe we're almost at the end of August already? This Summer is flying by! As most of you know, I've been super busy this Summer stocking up my TpT store full of fabulous goodies for you all to use in your classrooms this coming year.

But..my new fave resource is definitely this one - Fishing for CVC Words!

This resource is pretty much what you're going to guess - you go fishing for CVC words!

Now, to use this resource you are going to need some sort of fishing rod. I found this great grabber one - it's not magnetic, but you can get some magnetic ones out there - check kids games etc. This set was actually from our local £/$ store.

So, each medial vowel comes with four different fish/cvc words. The fish have the cvc words on their bodies.

Then, there are the flashcards. Now, these come with just the image. 

First of all, you're going to want to cut out and laminate each of the fish and flashcards. Laminating will make them stronger, and longer lasting.

If you have bought a magnetic fishing rod, simply tape something to the back of the fish that is magnetic. If you get a grabber one like I did, I just used bigger paperclips, taped them to the back of each fish, with a little bit of the clip poking past their mouth and then bent it upwards so it was easier for the kids to pick up with the rod.

Now, with the flashcards, you can either hide these in little bags and students have to pull one out randomly without looking or you can pass them out to students for them to find. The idea, is that the student will have the flashcard, then attempt to locate the matching CVC word fish and pick it up with their fishing rod.

I must stress, you know your students the best and you will know what their ability level is. You may be best splitting this game up into smaller groups so that students of a similar ability are together. You can use as many or as few fish/medial vowel groups at a time as you wish.

You can even add some fun sea creatures into the mix just to add a little something and set the scene a bit more. I also used a blue table cloth to make it feel more like a sea.

CVC Words: Fly Swat Game

So, through the Summer I've been hunting around our local bargain shops, trying to find cheap, yet fun items that can be used in a fun way in the classroom. When I seen a bright and fun looking fly swatter, I knew I had to incorporate it somehow into a resource - but how?

I knew it had to involve a fly image, that was just too blatant, but what to put on the fly. The more I played around with the idea, I knew CVC words would be great, mainly because it was something that we would benefit from with the kids in class during our morning speech/literacy sessions and I just knew they would love it!

Once the idea was in my head, it was all systems go. I wanted the game to be fun and engaging yet also giving students the opportunity to learn and practise their CVC words. I also knew that it would be important to differentiate for two different levels of learners, this would be the trickier part.

In the end, I decided upon the two following ways to differentiate:

• The easier level would consist of the CVC word on the body of the fly, and the matching image on one of the wings of the fly. Then, the flashcards would have the CVC word and the CVC image on it.
• The harder level would consist of just the CVC word on the body of the fly - no supporting image. The flashcards also come in word only option so students could match the word to word or use the flashcards with the image and word on.

The idea of the game, is that once a student has selected/been given a flashcard, they are to locate the fly with the matching CVC word on it and then swat it! 

With regards to the flashcards, you can do this whichever way you prefer and how you think your students would cope. A great way is to put the flashcards into a bag and have the students individually pick out one card at a time then swat the matching fly.

You can then remove the fly once it has been swatted or leave it there.

Another way is to hand out the flashcards when it is each students turn. This activity is also a great way to promote turn taking and having students waiting for their turn.

It also provides a great opportunity for students to read the word that they can see and self-check if they have swatted the correct fly.

CVC Words: Gum Ball Fun

One of my most favourite resources is the CVC Gum Ball Sorting Activity. The main idea behind making this resource was that I wanted to be able to make practising CVC words more fun.

When I stumbled upon the gum ball clipart set I just knew I had to have it - and up came the CVC game. The students had so much fun matching the gum balls into the gum ball machine.

We all know that the best way for children to learn, is if they don't even know they're learning! They had so much fun and they were so engaged that the activity went extremely well.

I've attached some photos below so that you can see the activity in action. The activity comes in two difficulty levels: image & word and just word. I recommend that you use the level you feel is more appropriate for your students individual needs and what they are able to work with.

The above photographs are of the harder ability gum balls. The gum balls just have the words - no accompanying image. Students simply match the words into the correct gum ball machine. The whole idea behind the matching is that students are able to match the medial sound.

The photographs above are of the lower ability gum balls. They include images accompanied with the matching word. Students simply match the gum balls into the correct gum ball machines: matching the medial sound.

I highly recommend laminating each of the individual pieces of this resource so that they can be stored and re-used over and over again in the future. This is especially great for those quick time filler sessions - or even as some group games. 

Group Games Idea

I have attached some instructions on how this resource could be used as part of a group game session. Each medial sound comes with 6 accompanying 'gum ball' pieces. This game will work with a group of up to 6 students. 

Hand out one of each medial sound to the individual students (give more to the students if you have a smaller group), then have the gum ball machines out ready. 

Now, you can either have a dice which students roll - put a medial sound on each side of the dice (a,e,i,o,u). Whatever letter the dice lands on - the students have to match their gum ball pieces to that gum ball machine.

OR

You choose a gum ball machine and offer it around to the students asking them to put their matching gum ball piece into the gum ball machine.
