11 12 Unlikely Friends Number of players: 2 to 4 Materials: game board 48 playing cards 1 marker for each player (coins, buttons, etc.) spinner Directions: 1. Print two copies of pages 4 and 5 so there is a total of forty-eight cards for the game. Shuffle the playing cards, and place them facedown in a stack next to the game board. Decide which player goes first. 2. The player to the right of the first player draws a card and reads the word aloud. The first player spells the word and indicates where the break between syllables is located. The player who read the word displays it to show whether or not the player spelled and divided the word correctly. 3. If the first player spells and divides the word into syllables correctly, he or she spins and moves the number of spaces shown on the spinner. If the player misspells the word or divides the word incorrectly, the player cannot move and play passes to the next player. 4. Players take turns drawing cards, spelling the word, dividing the word into syllables, and moving their marker. 5. The first player to reach Finish is the winner.

17 13 Who Has a Pair? Number of players: 2 to 4 Materials: 48 playing cards Directions: 1. Print two copies of pages 2 and 3 so there is a total of forty-eight cards for the game. 2. Shuffle the playing cards, and stack them facedown. Players each draw five cards and look through their cards for pairs of words with the same syllable juncture pattern. For example, follow/matter would be a pair, but winter/female would not. For each pair a player can lay down, he or she draws two cards to replace the pair. 3. Players decide who goes first. The first player calls out a word from his or her remaining cards and places the card faceup. The player chooses another player and asks if that player has a word with the same syllable juncture pattern. If the second player has a word with that pattern, he or she gives the card to the first player, and the first player lays down the pair. 4. If the second player does not have a matching card, the first player draws a card from the pile. If the player draws a card with a syllable juncture pattern that matches a card in his or her hand, he or she lays down the pair. 5. Play continues in turns. If a player uses all the cards in his or her hand, the player must draw a card. The player who has the most pairs when the draw pile is used up is the winner.

Turning cards and slapping must be done with the same hand. 5. A player who slaps the common pile when the syllable juncture pattern of the two cards is not the same must give both cards to the other player. 6.

If the player writes the plural incorrectly, he or she moves back to his or her previous space. 4. Players take turns moving through the game board and catching fireflies.

40 19 One Card! Number of players: 3 to 4 Materials: 60 playing cards Directions: 1. Print two copies of pages 2 and 3 and one copy of page 4, so there are sixty cards in the deck. Shuffle the playing cards, and stack them facedown. Have each player draw five cards from the deck, and then turn the top card of the deck faceup. Players decide who goes first. 2. The first player discards a card that has the same inflected ending as the card that is faceup. For example, if the top card shows the word replying, the player can discard crying, copying, hurrying, and so on. A player can also choose to discard a Skip or Draw 2 card containing the same inflected ending. If the player discards a Skip card, the next player must skip a turn. If the player discards a Draw 2 card, the next player must pick two cards from the pile and may not discard. 3. A Wild card may be used to change the inflected ending being discarded. For example, a player using a Wild card instead of a card that matches replying might say, Replied. Then players must discard cards with words that contain the same inflected ending as replied. 4. A player who does not have the correct inflected ending in his or her hand must draw from the pile. Unless it is a Draw 2 situation, the player may discard if the card drawn follows the pattern. 5. As players take turns, they attempt to discard all their cards. If a player has two cards left and is discarding one of them, he or she must call out, One card! If the player forgets, another player can tell him or her to draw another card. 6. The first player who runs out of cards wins the game.
