Magic e Game
I have been working on the magic or silent e with a group of first grade students this week and came across a game I made for my class years ago. I decided it was time for an updated version of the game.
Materials
templates
glue
scissors
popsicle sticks or other small stick for playing pieces
Preparing the Game
Playing Pieces
Print out the directions page of the game. There are five stars at the top of the page. Cut each one out and set aside.
Break or cut each popsicle stick in half and glue one star to each stick to complete the playing pieces.
The Game Board
Print the templates and glue the game together as shown below.
How to Play
You will need one die for this game. Have each player chose a Magic e playing wand (playing piece). All players begin at start. Player One rolls the die and goes that many spaces. He then reads the word (as is) on the space. He then adds the Magic e and reads the newly created word. Other players decide if he is right or not. Then the next player takes his turn. The game continues as such until all players have reached finish.
