Have you seen our giant collection of phonics printables?  Today I’m adding a new set of games to teach children long vowel sounds.

Teach long vowel sounds with this set of 26 free games! Such a great addition to your other long vowel activities.

It’s another game in my series of colorful, no prep games!  So far we’ve shared

  • Roll a short vowel
  • Roll a blend
  • Roll a digraph

It’s time for Roll a Long Vowel!

Teach long vowel sounds with this set of 26 free games! Such a great addition to your other long vowel activities.

(Oops – I didn’t change the name of this game from my Short Vowel template before the I printed and took a picture.  It’s correct in the download. 🙂

My Five loves these games. They’re so simple and fun to play – plus they’re quick!

I love them because they pack a lot of learning into a little bit of time.

How to play

1. Print the game board of your choice (there are 26 to choose from!).

2. Grab a die and playing pieces.

3. Take turns rolling the die. Then check the key at the top of the page, and move to the closest picture with that vowel sound.

4. Whoever gets to the last space first, wins!

What I really love about these is that my son has to say the name of every picture he passes.  For example, if he’s moving from Start toward the long o sound in the game above, he has to think about “whale” first.

“Whale. Whaaaale.  No.   Hoe. Yes!”

This game really helped him think about long vowel sounds, which was exactly my goal.  Now that he reads short vowel words well, it’s time to move into long vowel patterns. So stay tuned for long vowel reading games – coming soon!

    Hi! I know this post is old but I just started homeschooling and would love some of your long vowel and digraph printables. But I can’t seem to access it. Do you still have these freebies available?

      Did you click on the box that says “Is the file not downloading? Or is it not printing correctly?” It has tips that should help.

    Thank you so much for creating these games and sharing them for free! I just started homeschooling and I’m trying to teach my Kindergartner and Preschooler how to read. I’ve never done this before and my budget is library friendly right now. So I really appreciate it! Thank you!

    hi,

    i am trying to print for my personal home use.

    i am having a hard time getting the pages to print correctly on paper.
    do you have this in a different file version that you can email to me?

    • Anna G says

      March 27, 2018 at 1:28 pm

      No, this is the only version I have, and I don’t email files. Do check these tips – esp. the one about opening and printing with Adobe Reader. https://www.themeasuredmom.com/how-to-download-free-files/

    Hi,

    I really admire all the hard work you have put in to create the long vowel activities….. Can you please tell me in detail as to how ‘roll a long vowel’ game is supposed to be played? I really want to play this game with my students…..

    Thanks

      Hi Afifa!
      In the middle of the post it says “how to play.” That should help!

        Thanks but just a quick question…. Why does the game board have 2 of each sounds….. Both of them represent long vowel sound or one long and one short….

          June 3, 2018 at 7:42 am

          I’m sorry, I don’t understand your question.

            If we look at board game number 1, it says if you get 1 on dice, look for an ‘a’ sound and it also says that if you get 5 on the dice, it also represents ‘a’ sound….. Why two numbers on the dice represent the same sound?

              It’s just to give extra practice with the short a sound.
