Vowel Teams Baseball Freebie!

admin March 26, 2013 No Comments

I’m really having fun creating sports-themed activities.  It’s kind of funny that I haven’t yet created a single activity for my all-time favorite sport, tennis, and only one for my second all-time favorite sport- soccer.  I’m trying to keep with the sports season and it seems like baseball is it for the spring.   Baseball really wasn’t big in my family.  The kids played in our recreational league as young children and only lasted a few summers.  We found it, oh should I really say it?–deep breath–kind of boring.  Okay, please no hate comments from baseball fans.   I will say, however, that one of my favorite family pictures was taken at the ball field. Oh my gosh, this picture was literally taken 13 years ago!

The Final Four March Madness Basketball Tournament started today.  I really love college basketball!  With my son attending Michigan State University, we’ve been lucky enough to travel to East Lansing to see a few games.   On top of that, we are traveling again to MSU this weekend to watch our high school basketball team compete in the class B semi-finals.  How exciting!!  This is the first time in 40 years that our high school team has made it this far in the play-offs.  Wishing them all the luck in the world.  Well, in honor of the Final 4, I whipped up a few activities for our little basketball fans.

I was in my teacher friend, Deb’s, classroom this week and her students were working with common vowel teams.  We checked her inventory of activities and decided we needed to make some fun activities for use in her literacy centers to work on this phonics skill.  For a quick and easy activity, I whipped up this St. Patrick’s Day 4-In-A-Row game. Click the following link to download this freebie St. Patrick’s Day Vowel Teams 4-In-A-Row Activity To play this game, you’ll need a board for every two players.  Each player will need about 10 colored chips of the same color (each partner must have a different colored chip).   So, if we were playing, I may have 10 red chips and
