Have you seen my free spelling games? I’m adding another one!
I’m on a mission to create spelling games for words with long vowels.
Today: short and long e dominoes!
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.
You’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.)
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. If you’re looking for a spelling game that will have your child actually write the words, check out some of my games for any word list on my spelling resource page.
