Short and long e dominoes

Have you seen my free spelling games?  I’m adding another one!

short and long e dominoes

I’m on a mission to create spelling games for words with long vowels.

Today: short and long e dominoes!

short and long e dominoes 1

The game is very simple.  Just cut out the dominoes and divide them up evenly. Then take turns choosing from your pile to set down a domino.  It has to connect to another one with the same spelling pattern.

short and long e dominoes 2You’ll find three spelling patterns in the game:

short e (vest, mend, etc.)

long e spelled -e (he, she, be, etc.)

long e spelled ee (speed, peek, etc.)

short and long e dominoes 3

Are you thinking that this sounds more like a reading game than a spelling game? It’s both.  What makes it a spelling game is that your child really needs to notice and think about those spelling patterns before placing a domino. 

P.S. Did you know?

In addition to the freebies on this website, when you join our low-cost monthly membership you’ll get instant access to 2000+ low-prep student resources. Learn more here!

      I’m sorry, Nida – I get asked this a lot, but I really don’t have experience in that area!

    Love this – my 5 year old at the stage of just being awed by all the different ways you can make a long e and randomly splattering all the different ones she knows everywhere 🙂 This could really help!

      It does help draw attention to the different patterns. Stay tuned for more long e games! 🙂
