Are You Ready for Some Football? (Blends Football Freebie!)

Hi, Teaching Friends!

If you might be thinking about adding some football fun to your plans for next week, here's a free game for your small group or center activities.

The printable consists of 81 cards, each having a short vowel word that begins with a consonant blend. Players take turns turning over a card and reading the word. If correct, they add the number on that card's football jersey to their total.  The object of the game is to reach a total of 20, but of course you could adjust that higher or lower according to the size of your group or the amount of time you have to play.

I love a game that addresses objectives in multiple areas, and of course this game targets both literacy and math standards. It's also an opportunity to squeeze in some extra practice with tally marks, which makes the game accessible for even your younger students.

Download this freebie at my TpT store!


Happy Teaching!
