Ch a lle n g in g Va ria tio n s

A. Start with 8 blue Rods and 5 red Rods (1 of each vowel a, e, i, o, u). Players must use all vowels during

a round in order for their words to count.

B. Choose either long or short vowel sounds as target

words. Players receive an extra point for each word

using these sounds.

Examples:

Ta rg e t = lo n g vo w e l w o rd s: Receive an extra point

for the word "stone" since it has the long "o" sound.

Ta rg e t = sh o rt "i" w o rd s: Receive an extra point for

the word "pin" since it has the short "i" sound.

Teachers, parents, and players are encouraged to mix and match Rod combinations to create new variations

and levels

of play. Specific phonics and word-building skills can be isolated for additional skill reinforcement. For exam-

ple: long and short vowels, silent e, vowel combinations, and beginning or ending blends.
