Have fun playing Go Fish, Bingo, and Wipe Out games while practicing the doubling rule for adding suffixes to one-syllable and two-syllable words using word sums. During the Doubling Rule Spelling Games, students recognize and verbalize the reasons to double or not to double. They love it because it’s a game and they have a fair chance of beating you. You love it because they’re learning and smiling!
Description
Doubling Rule Spelling Games are the perfect way to reinforce this suffixing rule using word sums. Give a student a choice of playing a game to practice or working a spelling study sheet and what do you think they’ll choose? And will the opportunity to beat you at a game engage them more? YES!
During play students are spelling aloud and explaining why or why not they double a final consonant letter. That reinforces what they know and their attention to noticing this suffixing rule in their writing.
What is suffixing?
It’s adding a suffix to a base word and following one of three suffixing rules about doubling a final consonant letter, changing Y to I, or replacing a final, single, non-syllabic (silent) E.
What are the games?
Go Fish, Bingo, and Wipe Out card games. The word list includes both one-syllable and two-syllable words. Word sums are used to help students visualize what happens when a suffix is added to the simple base word.
“D-I-G plus ING becomes…” Whether you’re playing Go Fish, Bingo, or Wipe Out, players say the word sum like this and then THINK about what they are going to do. Then they’ll need to ask or you to prompt with questions like these: 1) Is there a vowel suffix? 2) Does the base word end with a final consonant letter? Is there a single vowel letter right before that? 3) If the word has more than one syllable, they’ll think about whether the stress is on that last syllable or not.
Included:
60 pairs of Word Sum Cards & Complete Word Cards
4 Bingo boards for one-syllable word cards (color and black & white versions)
4 Bingo boards for polysyllabic word cards (color and black & white versions)
Instructions for Bingo, Go Fish, and Wipe-Out Games
A sheet of blank game cards
Word Sum recording sheet
Students can practice in small groups or centers in a classroom, with tutors, and in home school families. After playing, students can create sentences with the words they created during the game. Or they could start with one of their words and add different suffixes to create a word family.
How do you play Wipe Out?
Write “wipe out” on several blank cards (included). Then shuffle those into a group of word sum cards. Each player takes turns completing the word sum cards, trying to collect as many cards as possible without getting a dreaded Wipe Out card. They keep the cards they read. If they draw a Wipe Out card, they lose all the cards completed on that turn. The winner is the player with the most cards at the end.
Monosyllabic (one-syllable) card words include: biggest, crabby, flipper, funny, grabbable, mapping, planner, quizzing, shippable, splitting, webbed, fitness, jobless, sadly, shipment, trips, boater, needy, rainy, reaches, handed, oldest, pester, wanted, locker, smashed, munching, boxes, mixer, taxed.
Polysyllabic (2+ syllable) words include: beginner, catnapped, committed, controllable, equipped, inferring, preferred, propeller, rebellion, regrettable, upsetting, begins, commitment, equips, forgetful, containing, overloaded, preheating, repaying, distracting, insisted, subtraction, publishable, unfinished, unlocking, reflexes, overtaxed, coloring, exited, listener.
