Get students begging to practice Open Syllables with this Word War game. Whether you are reviewing Open Syllables or using these words to enhance vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, or writing instruction – these easy-to-play games ensure you always have an engagement strategy up your sleeve.

How to Play:

This game can be played with 2-4 players. Divide all of the cards among the players. On each turn, each player flips over their top card and reads it. Whoever has the highest number on their card keeps all of the cards that were flipped during that turn.

In the event of a tie, each player puts three cards face down and then flips a fourth card. Whoever has the highest number keeps all cards pulled for that turn.
