a game with compound words
Directions:
1. Print pages 4-5, 6-7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, 14-15, 16-17, and 18-19 back-to-back.
2. Cut out the dessert dishes on page 3. Give one to each player.
3. Cut out the playing cards for the Level you wish to play. (Level 1 students
should use the Level 1 cards, Level 2 students can use the Level 1 or Level
2 cards, and so on.) For best results, use only one Level of cards per game.
4. Deal three cards to each player. Place the remaining playing cards face
down in a draw pile on the table.
5. Have the first player select a playing card, either from the draw pile on
the table or from another player’s hand. If the ice cream scoop on the
card matches one already in the player’s hand, he may place the matching
cards side by side in his dessert dish. Have your student read the resulting
compound word aloud. The matching pair of cards is then placed in a pile
front of the player.
6. If the ice cream scoop does not match one in the player’s hand, the player
keeps the card in his hand and the game continues.
7. If the draw pile runs out, the game continues with the players selecting
cards from each other’s hands.
8. The game continues until all the ice cream scoop cards have been
matched. The player with the most matches wins.
Key:
Level 1 cards = cherries on the back
Level 2 cards = blueberries on the back
Level 3 cards = raspberries/blackberries on the back
Level 4 cards = strawberries on the back
