Preparation

Make copies of the worksheet, one per student.

Time

Ten - fifteen minutes.

Procedure

The students must find the word and put them together. The first student to make the word gets one point.

Variation

1. You could also say 4 consonants and two short a vowel sounds and see who can make the most real words from those combinations. 2. If you have finished teaching the short a sound, then these cards will work well as a fun test. As the teacher says the word, the students will take them and glue them in to their workbook.
