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. 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.

Check out the rest of our spelling games in this series!

  • Game 1: Snake Race (short a, a-e)
  • Game 2: Rainy Day Spelling (short a, a-e, ai)
  • Game 3: Train Game (a-e, ai, ay)
  • Game 4: Short & Long e Dominoes (short e, -e, -ee)
