What are CVC words?

A CVC word is made up of a consonant, vowel, and consonant sounds. In these words, all the letters are pronounced, so that children can easily sound them out. Example of CVC words are cat, tap or map.

These words are perfect for early readers. They are easy to decode and so help children to experience success in reading. Something that is almost as important as practice.

Teacher Tip: Difficulty hearing individual sounds and blending them is a symptom of Dyscaulia. Watch out for students who fall behind and continue to struggle even with extra help. Find out more here.

To play this educational game for kindergartners you will need to give each player different colored game markers.

• The first player rolls the cube and sounds out the word.
• They then find the corresponding picture on the game board.
• Place their marker on the picture
• They can bump off the counter belonging to other players and place their own counter on the picture.
• If a player already has a marker on the picture, they place a second one on the picture and that is now frozen. Frozen pictures cannot be bumped.
• The game is over when all the pictures are frozen.
• The winner is the player who freezes the most pictures.

DON’T HAVE A FOAM CUBE?

Use a permanent marker to print the words on a cube shaped wooden block.

Make a paperclip spinner and print the words on it. You can find instructions here and a blank spinner template here (you will need spinner #3)

EXTENSION ACTIVITIES
