Double Crazy Eights40Number of players: 2 to 4

Materials:• 56 playing cards

Directions:1. Shuffle the playing cards and stack them facedown. Each player draws

eight cards. After players decide who goes first, play proceeds clockwise.

2. Turn over the top card on the deck and place it faceup next to the deck.

The word on this card becomes the “guide” word, and this card begins a

discard pile.

3. The first player places a card that matches the guide card onto the discard

pile. Matches can be made in three ways:

a. By sound—hard c or g, or soft c or g

b. By pattern—VCV, VCCV, VVCV

c. By vowel—vowel that follows the initial letter

4. Players may lay down a Crazy 8 card to change the pattern of the guide

word. Play then continues as above, with players laying down cards that

follow the new pattern.

5. If a player does not have a match, he or she must draw from the deck until

a match or a Crazy 8 card is found.

6. If all of the cards from the deck are used, save the top card from the discard

pile and shuffle the rest of the cards in the pile. Then place the cards

facedown to make a new deck.

7. The first player to run out of cards wins the game.

• 24 playing cards

• 1 marker for each player (coins, buttons, etc.)

• spinner

Directions:1. Shuffle the playing cards and place them facedown in a stack next to the

gameboard. Players put their markers at start. After players decide who

Word SearchNumber of players: 3 to 5

Materials:• 1 Word Search Game Card for each player

• 1 pencil for each player

• timer

Directions:1. Print one copy of the Word Search Game Card for each player.

2. Set a timer for two minutes.

3. Players look at the patterns under Word Search 1 and quickly write words

that contain the patterns on the corresponding Word Search 1 answer

lines. Players should not use a word more than once.

4. When the two minutes are up, players take turns reading aloud their

answer for each pattern. Players circle each word on their list that does not

match any other player’s word. For example, in a four-player game, if

player 1 wrote guilty, player 2 wrote guard, player 3 wrote guest, and

player 4 wrote guilty, the players with guard and guest each circle their

word. After players have read their answer for all five patterns, they count

their circled words and record the number next to Word Search 1 Total. This

number represents the number of points players have earned for

that round.

5. Repeat the routine with Word Search 2 on the game card.

6. After the second round is completed, players add up the number of points

from the two rounds. The player with the most points wins the game.

Word BuildingNumber of players: 2 to 4


• Spell Check Card

• 1 Word Building Scorecard for each player


Directions:1. Print one copy of the Word Building Scorecard for each player.

2. Shuffle the playing cards and place the stack faceup in the middle of a table.

After players decide who goes first, play proceeds clockwise.

3. The first player takes a playing card from the deck, looks at the card, and

decides whether ck, ic, x, or ch (as an oddball) should be used to correctly

complete the word. The player writes the word on his or her Word Building

Scorecard and then checks the Spell Check Card to see if he or she is

correct.

4. If the word is spelled correctly, the player keeps the card and wins the

number of points written on the card. The player should log the points on

his or her Word Building Scorecard. If the word is spelled incorrectly, the

player returns the playing card to the bottom of the stack to be used again.

5. Play continues until there are no more cards left to play. The player with

the most points wins the game.

Quick CluesNumber of players: 5


• pencil and paper for the recorder

Directions:1. Designate a recorder, Player A and Player B of Team 1, and Player A and

Player B of Team 2.

2. The recorder shuffles the deck and gives each Player A a playing card with

the first word.

3. Player A from Team 1 begins by giving Player B of Team 1 a one-word clue

that describes the word on the card. The clue may not be any part of the

word to be guessed or contain the word in any form. For example, if the

word is quotation, the clue might be statement or words, but not quote. If

Player B on Team 1 does not guess the word, then Team 2 has a chance.

4. Player A of Team 2 gives a one-word clue to Player B of Team 2. If Player B

does not guess the word, play goes back to Team 1 for another chance.

Play moves back and forth until one team guesses correctly. If both teams

have given five clues and the word is still not guessed, the recorder throws

the word out and Team 2 is given the second word.

5. The recorder should write down each clue given from each team. The

recorder is also the referee, making sure only one-word clues are given and

the rules are followed.

6. After 12 words have been handed out, Players A and B switch roles.

7. Each team that successfully guesses the word receives one point. If the

player who guessed the word can also spell the word, the team receives

another point. If the player who guessed the word cannot spell the word,

the other team’s guessing player gets a chance to spell it and get a point.

The team with the most points wins the game.

Word SearchNumber of players: 3 to 5

Materials:• 1 Word Search Game Card for each player


• timer

Directions:1. Print one copy of the Word Search Game Card for each player.

2. Set a timer for two minutes.

3. Players look at the patterns under Word Search 1 and quickly write words

that contain the patterns on the corresponding Word Search 1 answer

lines. Players should not use a word more than once.

4. When the two minutes are up, players take turns reading aloud their

answer for each pattern. Players circle each word on their list that does not

match any other player’s word. For example, in a four-player game, if

player 1 wrote fasten, player 2 wrote listen, player 3 wrote wrestle, and

player 4 wrote listen, the players with fasten and wrestle each circle their

word. After players have read their answer for all six patterns, they count

their circled words and record the number next to Word Search 1 Total.

This number represents the number of points players have earned for

that round.

5. Repeat the routine with Word Search 2 on the game card.

6. After the second round is completed, players add up the number of points

from the two rounds. The player with the most points wins the game.

Bright NightNumber of players: 2 to 4

Materials:• gameboard

• 24 playing cards

• 1 marker for each player (coins, buttons, etc.)

Directions:1. Shuffle the playing cards and place them facedown in a stack next to the

gameboard. Players put their markers on Start. After players decide who

goes first, play proceeds clockwise.

2. The first player draws a card from the deck and reads the word aloud for

the second player without showing the card to the second player. The

second player moves his or her marker to the first space that matches the

feature of the word. For example, if the card says orphan, the player moves

to the nearest space that has -ph-. If the card says caught, the player moves

to the nearest space with the element silent -gh.

3. The first player (who drew the card) then checks the spelling. If the feature

matches, the second player follows any directions written in the space and

then draws a card for the third player. If the features do not match, the

second player cannot move and must move his or her marker back to the

space from which he or she moved. The second player then draws a card

for the third player. Players should place cards facedown at the bottom of

the deck after each turn.

4. Play continues as players take turns drawing cards, reading words for the

next player, moving as permitted, and checking the spelling feature.

5. The first player to reach Finish wins the game.

• 1 Spin and Spell sheet for each player

• Master Word List


• spinner

Directions:1. Print one copy of the Spin and Spell sheet for each player.

2. Shuffle the playing cards and place them facedown in the middle of a table.

sheet. Players should check their words against the Master Word List. Then

a new base word card is turned over for the next player and placed on top

of the used card.

4. If the first player spins a prefix that cannot be added (such as un + view),

the next player spins to try for a prefix that will work with the base word.

This continues until someone can form a word. Then a new base word card

is turned over for the next player and placed on top of the used card.

5. Play continues until there are no more base word cards left to play. The

player who has the most new words written on his or her spin and spell

sheet wins the game.

Number of players: 2 to 4



Directions:1. Shuffle the playing cards and deal five cards to each player (seven cards for

two players). Place the remaining cards facedown.

2. Each player looks at his or her cards and lays down any matches. A match

consists of a prefix card and a base word/word part card that together

make a new word. For example, the prefix card non- and the base word

card fiction make the new word nonfiction for a match; the prefix ex- and

the word part tra can be matched to make extra. Players should check their

matches against the Master Word List.

3. After players decide who goes first, play proceeds clockwise. The first

player chooses one of the unmatched cards in his or her hand and asks the

player to the left for a specific card to make a match, which can be the

following:

a. A prefix (ex-, non-, in-, fore-) to add to a base word/word part

b. A base word/word part that can be matched to a prefix to make a

new word (If players need assistance, refer to the Master Word List

for potential base words/word parts.)

4. If the player to the left (the second player) has the asked-for card, he or she

must give it to the first player, who must lay down the match.

5. If the second player does not have the asked-for card, he or she says “Pick a

card.” The first player then draws a card from the deck. If the card doesn’t

match, the player adds the card to his or her hand. If that card makes a

match, the player lays down the cards and play proceeds to the next

player.

6. Play continues until one player runs out of cards. That player wins the game.
