Word games are a fabulous pastime, but younger kids can miss out on all the action. So, here’s a simple game for your youngest students to gain confidence in their skills! Children spin a spinner to see how many letters along the alphabet board they will advance. When they land on a letter, they place a word ending card from their hand next to the letter space to form a three or four-letter word. If they land on a vowel, they find a card that matches with that vowel instead of forming a word. If the word is valid or the vowel is matched, the child gains a hat token. The player to reach the end of the alphabet with the most hats wins! With basic gameplay mechanics and completing words rather than spelling or writing them, even the youngest children can join in on the learning fun!
