Unstressed vowels, dice game

I can identify unstressed vowels
I can spell words with unstressed vowels

Children (and adults!) often spell words with unstressed vowels incorrectly (how about these: diffrent, intresting, seprate, evryone…).

This dice game encourages learners to engage with this tricky group of words. Players identify and sort unstressed vowel words into groups. They record them on a game sheet. No marking - peer assessment built in (answers are on the reverse of cards). There is a competitive element to add some fun, but it could just as easily be played collaboratively.

I have included ideas on how to quickly differentiate the game, to include all learners. There is also a quick warm sorting activity.

My class enjoyed it. I hope yours do too.

All you need is 1-6 dice. The rest is all here.
