Falling Leaves

Long Vowel

Game

Materials: Print one copy of this packet! Laminate for durability. Cut out leaves.

Optional: Add magnets to the back to allow students to play on white boards or

small cookie sheets.

Game Directions:

Fill the Tree (Part One): Students work to match words (on leaves) with the

corresponding vowel sound pictures (on leaves) and match them to the correct

tree. Mix the orange leaves. Let each student take a turn finding the correct tree

for their leaf! Teachers may select only a few trees at first and then use all the

sounds as students progress.

Rake the Leaves(Part Two): After students work through finding all the possible

sound pictures for the long vowels introduce the ‘raking leaves’ portion of the

game! Mix all the yellow leaves for part two and let students take turns drawing

and reading each leaf. Under each tree start a pile of ‘raked leaves’. Have

students match their word to the correct pile.
