Do you use Benchmark Literacy? Are you looking for extra activities to use with your kids? This Four in a Row game is perfect to use in your classroom! This product is a supplemental activity to make your lessons more engaging! It goes along with Benchmark Literacy Phonics Unit 2 - r-family blends (br, cr, dr, fr, gr, and tr). In this product you will find four different versions to use in your classroom. The first two pages of this document have only the decodable words for this unit. Each word will appear two times on each sheet since there is not many decodable words. This can be seen on the first page of the preview. The third and fourth page of this document have a mixture of decodable words and sight words. Every sight word is on the sheet and the remainder of the sheet is be filled with decodable words. This can be seen on the second page of the preview. How I use Four in a Row in my classroom: The students play with a partner and each group gets a set of double sided counters. Our counters are yellow and red. One student is red and the other student is yellow. The students take turns and say a word. If the word is read correctly, the student can put a counter on that space. The other student gets a turn and place a counter on the space if they say the word correctly. If a student says a word incorrectly, they do not get to place a counter on the space and it is the other person’s turn. The game continues until one student has four counters in a row across, diagonally, or up and down.
