How to Play the Soccer Game
Each player places a game piece at one end of the soccer field.
One player selects a spelling word, sight word, vocabulary word, or math fact card and reads it aloud. If the other player answers correctly, they move one space toward the goal. Players continue taking turns moving across the field.
Each time a player reaches the opposite goal, they score one point. The player with the most goals at the end of the game wins!

Love this idea. My grandson enjoys playing soccer during recess, so I think I’ll use this with him to practice his spelling and decoding skills over the summer.
I hope it is helpful!!
