BACK TO SCHOOL PHONICS GAMES - CVC WORDS GAMES is a set of 6 CVC gameboards with a September Back to School theme. You'll have games for these skills: short a, short e, short i, short o, short u and a mixed game. 6 games in color and 6 in B&W. Print & Go, just add a die.

These gameboards are "closed" gameboards. You can make these work in your favor by setting up the guidelines ahead of time. Students can continue to play round and round the board until the time is up. Put a small pile of tokens such as cubes in the center and they can collect one for each lap they make if you want a way to keep score. Or, you can state that the games are over after a player has made 5 rounds, or however you choose.

Launch creativity into orbit with Outer Space Roll a Story! This imaginative writing activity takes students on an out-of-this-world storytelling adventure with space-themed characters, problems, and settings.

Contents:
With Outer Space Roll a Story, students use a dice to randomly select the characters, story problems, and settings for their space-themed story. This activity includes:

• 6 Characters: Students might encounter astronauts, aliens, space pirates, and more!
• 6 Problems: Will they face an alien invasion, get lost in space, or tackle another cosmic dilemma?
• 6 Settings: From spaceships to distant alien planets, each roll opens up a new backdrop for their intergalactic tales.
• Lined Story Paper Options: After rolling, students can organize and expand their ideas on lined paper, outlining and then drafting their unique space adventure.

How It Works:
Students will roll a dice three times—once for each story element—to build a completely randomized story prompt. With character, problem, and setting in hand, they move on to the included lined paper to outline and write their stories. This process sparks creativity while reinforcing story structure in a fun, hands-on way.

Why You’ll Love This Product:
Outer Space Roll a Story adds an exciting twist to creative writing! Students love the randomness of each roll, and teachers will appreciate how this activity promotes imagination, vocabulary building, and structured writing practice. It’s perfect for independent writing time, literacy centers, or a fun end-of-the-week activity.

Features:

• 6 space-themed characters, problems, and settings for endless story combinations
• Dice-based prompts that take the guesswork out of planning and keep students engaged
• Outer space-themed lined paper for easy story organization
• 8.5x11 pages for easy printing and classroom use

How This Product Can Be Used in the Classroom or Other Educational Settings:

1. Writing center activity: A perfect addition to writing centers, where students can independently create new stories.
2. Storytelling practice: Use as a storytelling prompt in small groups, encouraging students to share their tales.
3. Vocabulary building: Space-themed characters, problems, and settings offer fun new words for young learners.
4. Creative time: A great option for free-write sessions, early finisher activities, or end-of-week creative writing time.
5. Themed writing week: Incorporate this into a space-themed week to connect to lessons on the solar system or science fiction.

Medial Short Vowel direct instruction, stations, and Boom cards!

Students will use a variety of activities to reinforce understanding of medial short vowel sounds. When teaching medial sounds I use a roller coaster arm motion providing emphasis of the medial sound at the top of the coaster. To reinforce this, I have made a visual students can use.

Direct Instruction Activity -

• Use the roller coaster and cars to segment words provided on the picture cards. Students will drive the coaster cars, identify the medial sound at the top of the coaster.
• This activity can be done over multiple days - you can focus on one vowel at a time (bring in mirrors so students can see the placement of their tongue when annunciating the short vowel sounds). You can also mix up all 5 short vowel sounds to determine if students are able to identify their sounds.
• Pictures provided have a short vowel focus, with a bonus 20 long vowel pictures.

Stations - Laminate the materials for extended use.

• Clip Cards (30 cards) - use expo markers or clothing pin to select the correct medial sound.
• Sorting (30 pictures) - Sort the pictures to the correct short sound
• 30 cards with pictures and beginning / ending sounds. Students will fill in the medial sound

Short Vowel Tab book - For extra practice, or direct instruction complete a tab book with your students. I have included a different set of pictures.

• B/W and color tab book

Boom cards - 10 sets of cards in all (one location)

Set one: Students select the correct word from a choice of 3 matching the picture.

Set two: Students will select the correct picture for the word that is provided.
