How to Play the Silly Monster CVC Game

Students will pick a card and look at the monsters with the word printed on them. They will sound out the CVC word and then find the matching picture. They will place a clip in the correct image. Then continue until all the cards have been completed.

Students could use these CVC word monsters during language arts time, centers’ time, and so much more. They are perfect for preschool, pre-k, and kindergarten students to practice sounding out CVC and short vowel words.

To take this a step further, have students read all of the words aloud as they sound them out and then say the word represented in the picture aloud and then in a sentence.

If students have enough clips, they can complete all of the cards and then unclip them. If they only have one clip, they can complete one at a time, unclip, and move on to the next card.

Even higher students could be asked to use their words in a sentence or think of rhyming words to match the words on their card.
