200 Phonics Cards, directions

Game 1:

Each player chooses an Engine card with a word family on it. Players take turns drawing beginning sound Train cards to see if they can make words and add train cards to their engines. Players try to be the first to add four cars to their trains.

Game 2:

Word family Engine cards are laid face up in a vertical line. Players take turns drawing beginning sound Train cards and trying to make words with any of the engines. Each time a player makes the fourth word on a train, he or she may collect the entire train. The person who collects the most trains wins!

Games 3:
Players work cooperatively to add Train cards to Engine cards to form words.
