Earth & Martian Words! {freebie}

The end of the school year is quickly coming, but I'm already thinking about back to school.

I can't help myself!!!

This was one of my favorite games to play with my first graders at the beginning of the year!

It's called Earth & Martian Words.

It's a SUPER fun way to build fluency with CVC words.

What six year old wouldn't want to read martian words! ;)

It's really easy to play too.

You need two game boards...one with Earth words, one with Martian words.

The first option for playing is to simply take turns reading a word and covering it with a counter/penny or anything you have!  

This is how I play at the very beginning of the year.  

The kids choose whether they want to read an Earth word or Martian word.

The second way to play is to roll a dice. 

If the number is even, the player reads an Earth word and covers it.

If the number is odd, the player reads a Martian words and covers it.

Easy peasy! ;)

Your kids will be fluent little CVC readers in no time at all!

And they'll have fun doing it. :)
