Materials: A deck of 35-45 cards
-A good starting combination might be five cards for each short vowel in the CVC pattern for a total of 25 cards and five cards for each long vowel in the CVCe pattern (except e because there aren’t many words) for a total of 20 or more cards. Wild cards can be included.
1.
Five cards are dealt to each player and the rest
are turned face-down in a deck. Players look in their hands for pairs, 3 of a
kind, 4 of a kind, or 5 of a kind.
2.
Each player has one chance to discard unwanted
cards and draw up to four new cards from the deck to keep a hand of five cards.
For example, a player might be dealt bone,
rope, that, wet, and rake. This
player may want to discard that, wet,
and rake and draw three other cards
to possibly create a better hand.
3.
The possible combinations are a pair (that,
camp); two pairs (that, camp, bone, rope); 3 of a kind (bone, rope, rode); 4 of
a kind (bone, rope, rode, smoke); 3 of a kind plus a pair (bone, rope, rode,
bat, rat); or 5 of a kind.
4.
Students lay down their hands to determine the
winner of the round. The winner is determined in this order: Five of a kind
(this beats everything), four of a kind, three of a kind plus a pair, two
pairs, three of a kind, and one pair. In the case of a tie, players can draw
from the deck until one player comes up with a card that will break the tie.
5.
Play continues by dealing another set of cards
to the players. The player who wins the most rounds is the winner.
