Divide the class into teams. The first student says a word, and the next student must say a word that begins with the last letter of the previous word. For example: cat → train → nest. Teams earn points for each correct word and lose points for repetitions or invalid words. This fast-paced game reinforces vocabulary and spelling skills.

Phonics Scavenger Hunt

Vocabulary Charades
