Great Games
Games are powerful teaching tools that keep students
interested in learning. Below, we’ve suggested some great
game ideas that are perfect for consolidating the concepts in
this unit. Kids love them!
For Fast
Finishers
Word Puzzle (List Words)
Using BLM GM42, students match List Word beginnings and
endings to form connecting rows of hexagonal shapes. See
game instructions on page 195.
Students learn and work at different rates. The following
activities have been designed to challenge fast finishers.
Four in a Row (Missing Graphemes)
Extra Challenge
This board game is for 2–4 players and provides practice
completing words ending with ary, ery, ory and ury. Use
BLMs GM43 and GM44. Instructions are included with the
game but can also be found on page 184.
Using BLM T2, students make a singular and plural Match
Two game with the following words: bacterium, crisis,
curriculum, vertebra, index, syllabus, analysis, appendix,
mongoose, lava, tempo, stimulus, basis, formula, criterion,
vortex, datum, mother-in-law, cupful, cactus, series.
Word Values 2 (List or Extension Words)
Students play in pairs, giving one another numerical values
as a code for List or Extension Words. See instructions on
page 197.
Platypus
Students create Platypus sentences using List Words or words
from the Extension Word Lists and display them around the
classroom for others to solve throughout the week.
For example:
• My sister works in a platypus position in an office in town.
• If your car has a 12-month platypus, any breakdowns within
that time will be fixed free of charge.
• Some sheep are raised platypus for wool to be made
into clothes.
See game instructions on page 188.

Each student requires a set of counters of the same colour.
1 Stack the word cards face down beside the game board.
2 The first student takes a card from the top and decides which grapheme on the board would be used
with the word on the card.
3 The student covers that grapheme on the game board with one of their counters. The card is then
returned to the bottom of the pile.
4 The next student has a turn.
5 Students continue to take turns.
