How to Play the Sunshine CVC Game
Students will pick a card and look at the sunshine 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.
If you don’t have clothespins handy, have students use a dry erase marker to mark the picture that matches the CVC word.
Students could use these CVC word suns 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.
Lots of Uses
These sun word cards would be so beneficial for multiple levels of readers. Your beginning readers can practice putting sounds together and making sure the words match the pictures.
While more advanced readers can write their word choices on a recording sheet. By writing their answers, they would be practicing sounding out the word and writing the correct matching letter and letter formations.
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.
These CVC clip cards are super versatile and can be used to meet your instructional needs and the needs of your students developmentally. You can incorporate these into whole group lessons, small group lessons, literacy centers, word work, or use them for independent practice, morning work, or reading warm-ups.
