 Ideas for Using the Games
Word Mazes:
p. 5 – Use for sight words. Type the featured sight word in the
editable field at the top of the page. Make a clear path from start to
finish by typing the sight word inside the circles. In the remaining
circles, type incorrect spellings of the sight word. For example, if your
learner is working on they, incorrect spellings could be thy, the, them,
htey, thay, etc. Your learners should follow the correct spelling of they
through the maze from start to finish.
p. 6 – Use for phonics words. Type a featured phonics word in the
editable field at the top of the page. Make a path from start to finish
by typing words that have the same vowel sound and/or vowel pattern.
In the other circles, type other phonics words or sight words that don’t
have that vowel sound.
Example 1: If you type hat as your featured phonics word, other
words that have the same vowel PATTERN could be bag, lap, or mat.
Words that do NOT have the same sound could be dog, hit, or hot.
Example 2: If you type eat as your featured phonics word, other
words that have the same vowel SOUND (long e) could be bead, key,
or Pete. With this example, you’re going for the same sound, not
necessarily the same visual pattern.

Hit the slopes!, ROLL & RACE, Snowball BUMP!,

& Let it snow!:
Type in phonics words OR sight words. Words could all be from the
same word family, share the same vowel pattern, or pick random
words that aren’t related at all for some mixed review!

Roll a die. Match it to a die on the board. Read the word. If it’s even, move
the girl with “even” one space down. If it’s odd, move the boy with “odd”
one space down. Who will snowboard down the slope first?

 Roll & Race
Roll a die. Look at the first box in the row that matches
the number you rolled. Read the word. Continue rolling,
reading, and racing until you have a row that takes first,
second, and third place.

 snowball BUMP!
For 2 Players: Roll two dice. Add up the numbers. Find the snowball on the board that
matches the sum you rolled and read the word. If you read it correctly, place an object
on top of the word. The second player does the same thing but can “bump” the other
player’s object if he rolls the same sum and reads the word correctly. Whoever has the
most of their objects on the board after 10 minutes is the winner!

 Let it snow!
For 2-4 Players: Get dressed to play in the snow with your friends! Roll a die. Move that
number of spaces on the game board. Read the word. Take turns rolling and reading
until you’ve reached the end and you’re dressed to play in the snow.
