Vowel Team Stargazing

This game makes practicing vowel teams FUN! Your child will practice the following vowel teams: oa, oe, ai, ay, oi, oy, ai, ee.

What you need:

• 2 wooden cubes (from a craft store or big box retail store) 

• Permanent marker 

• About 20 game pieces per player 

• 1 game board per player

How to prep:

• Print the game boards on cardstock.

• Laminate them to make them last longer (optional) 

• Write a vowel team on each of four sides of the wooden cube (use the four vowel teams that appear on one game board).

• Draw a star on the remaining two sides. 

• Be sure that each player selects a game board with the same vowel teams on them. 

Directions:

1. Each player takes one game board. 

2. The first player rolls the die and reads a word from the column of the vowel team rolled. 

3. Then they place a marker on it. 

4. If a column is filled and a player rolls that vowel team, they lose a turn. 

5. If a player rolls a star, they can read any word from any column. 

6. The player who fills their game board first is the winner.
