Printable
'oy' & 'oi' reading game
These
learning tools are based loosely on the card game 'Old Maid' with
the winner being the player left with the 'Gurgling Gargoyle' in their
hand at game's end. Heaps of fun for all involved!
These
games will probably: save you time, reduce your stress level, cause
student enjoyment, turn boring phonics drills into entertainment
and maybe even cause some student learning... So please
consider making a donation to help me keep developing these fun learning
resources.
Preparation:
Print
the cards onto thin card, laminate them if possible and then cut them
out.
I store the games in the plastic seal top bags that you get from the
photolab.
What
You Need to Play:
One
set of Game 1 or Game 2 cards
Two players
How
to Play:
1.
Two players sit facing each other.
2. One of the players shuffles a set of game cards then shares out the
whole deck between the two players.
3. The players match all the pairs in their hands and place them off
to the side saying 'oy as in voyage' etc as they place them
down.
4. The players then hold the remaining cards in their hands and take
turns picking one card randomly from the other person's hand.
5. As another pair is made the player places it down in the same way
as before. Hint - if you manage to choose the gargoyle, it is a good
idea to shuffle the cards in your hand to 'hide him better'.
6. The person left with the 'Gurgling Gargoyle' in their hand at the
end of the game is the winner.
