Print at least 1-2 copies of the cards on cardstock. Directions: Place cards face down in center of group of 3 or 4. The first student rolls the die and follows the directions on the “Roll For More” Dice Key. When a student pulls a card from the center or from the person to the right or left, they must read the card to keep it. Students continue to take turns rolling and pulling cards. The person with the most cards at the end of the game wins. Option 2- Race to Win! Students play with a partner or group. They take turns rolling a die and moving that many spaces forward. I also includes a spinner if you would only like them to only move forward 4 (at most). Students will need to use a paperclip and pencil to make their spinner. Every time a student lands on a new square they must pick a card and read the nonsense words. Some squares will require them to pick 2 cards. First person that reaches the end wins! Option 3- Gotcha! Print flash cards and gotcha cards on cardstock. Shuffle them and place them face down in center of group. Player one pulls a card and reads it. Player one continues to pull cards until he pulls a gotcha! Once a “Gotcha” is pulled it is the next players turn. Students continue to play until all cards are gone or the teacher stops them. The person with the most cards wins! Roll For… More! Roll For… More! Pick and Read 1 Pick and Read 1 Pick and Read 2 Pick and Read 2 Put one Back! Put one Back! Take one from the person to your left!
