Word Shark

Students learn about short vowel sounds through this exciting word game. The fun begins when each player chooses a Word Shark mat. The first player draws a consonant tile from the pile and tries to add it to a word ending on his or her mat to make a word. If the letter cannot be used to spell a word, it is returned to the pile, and it is the next player’s turn. The first player to fill a mat with words wins! Use the other side of the mat to spell out the words. Variations allow for crossword puzzles, center activities, cooperative activities, or timed contests. Includes 10 two-sided mats, 58 vowel tiles, and 92 consonant tiles. For 1-10 players.
