monosyllabic words and their derivatives.

Preparation: Two steps are necessary before playing this game: one, the card(s) to be used, like
the one shown below, should be printed out and given to the players (who are seated

so as not to view of the computer monitor); two, the parent/teacher should open a
tab for each of the several words she intends to cover in the game. For example, for

the players. (When appropriate, she may use “blank” for the
missing word.) The players take turns attempting to choose

the correct corresponding vocab word. (After game is over,
the teacher should gather the players around the computer

and discuss the several vocabulary words played.)

Note Assuming she picks writhe in column

: 1 of 204a, then her tab will look
more or less as it does to the right

correctness in this game.)
