Use this resource as independent practise for fast finishers and full-class learning opportunities like scoot activities, lesson reviews, formative assessments, and more.
👋 Swat!
During small group instruction, create a grid of cards on top of a table and give each student a fly swatter. Read the word on one of the cards. The first student to swat the word correctly sets the card aside in their own pile to keep score. The student with the most cards wins.
👉 Knock Off
Have your students stand up and make a line across the room. Project a word on the screen and use our Random Name Picker widget to draw a student’s name to answer. If the student correctly identifies the word, they tap the person on their left or right to send them back to their seat. If the student answers the card incorrectly, they must sit out. Play continues until only 1 student is standing.
🃏 Upcycle into Playing Cards
Print off 2 sets of word cards! Students can play card games like Match It, Go Fish, or Snap to get even more practice identifying AY words.
