Flower Theme Phonics Board Games
If your students know the letter sounds very well, beginning reading instruction with CVC words is a great idea. CVC words are easy to sound out and help build confidence in beginning readers! Once students have mastered CVC words, you might move on to reading words with blends or digraphs.
These fun phonics board games mostly focus on CVC words, but there are games for blends and digraphs as well. So you can differentiate and your students can get lots of fun hands-on practice with reading!
These free printable board games will be a favorite in your classroom! They are very low-prep, easy to store, and can be used any time of year. Your students will love practicing reading skills while playing these games in literacy centers.
The main focus of these spring phonics board games is CVC words with short vowel sounds. CVC stands for consonant vowel consonant words. These words are used at the beginning of reading and are easy for young readers to decode.
This set has 8 game boards, each with different CVC words on the spaces. Since they are small and simple, students may play multiple rounds to practice new words. This is a fun way to practice phonics skills in your classroom or at home! They come in color or black and white.
You will find 2 blend board games and 2 digraph board games as a little bonus!

Students will roll the die and move the amount of spaces indicated. Once they land on a space, they read the word aloud to their partner.
Their partner will double-check to make sure they are correct. Then, it’s their turn to roll and read. Players take turns until one of them gets to the ending space.
Other Ideas to Play the Game
To provide added practice with writing and spelling words, students could write down the words they landed on or their favorite word(s) on the game board.
More advanced students could write words that rhyme with the spaces they land on. They could also use one word in a sentence at the end of each game.
Students who need more support could play the games during small group instruction.
