Bossy R Digital Games

Moving along in the Within Word category for Words Their Way, I have created 5 digital games that could be used with the R-influenced vowels word sorts.


A few notes about this activity... 
  • The objective of the game is for students to move along the game board using a die. I have included a video that can be used as an electronic die.
  • Each time they land on a space, they click on it and it will take them to a new slide with an image. They are supposed to determine the word that goes with the image. If the word has the r-influenced vowel they are looking for then, they get to move ahead one space. If not, then they stay where they are.
  • I used the same game board layout for each of the games below. This makes it easier for the kids to learn how to play. 
  • The students will need to move their game pieces, which means that they must have editing rights to the document. When you want to share this with a student, you will need to make a copy to share with them. (if using this on a choice board, you can force make a copy by copying and pasting the link, then at the end of the link, delete where it says edit and change it to copy)
  • There are directions in the grey areas of the first slide, as well as, helpful hints for the students.
  • The idea is that 2 students would be playing this at the same time. This could be done in the classroom or while distance learning. Depending on the age of the student, they could use the same Google presentation so they can see each other's game pieces or separate ones if sharing the presentation would be too challenging.
  • There is an answer key on the very last slide if the students are having trouble figuring out the word and if it has a bossy r or not.


Click each of the links above take you to the game board.
