Description
Add excitement to CVC practice with 57 CVC Words Strike Out Phonics Games. These CVC games challenge students to read all the words before collecting too many strike outs.
The CVC Words Strike Out Games are individual challenge games targeting all CVC short vowel patterns. These games add a risk element to routine decoding practice. Students roll a picture, read the matching CVC word, and cover it on their board. But if they roll a strike out picture, they must cover it. Collect too many strike outs and you lose the game.
