I don’t know about you, but I’m always on the lookout for some fun and engaging CVC words for kindergarten activities. And this fishing for CVC words game has been a great addition to our literacy activities.
What Is It?
This activity is pretty much as it sounds. Your students are going to be doing exactly what it sounds like – fishing for CVC words! And I promise, they’re going to have so much fun.
How to Use
To use this resource as planned, you’re going to want to use a plastic fishing rod – and you can get these online or as part of fishing games. You could even make one with your students!
You’re going to need to attach a magnet to the end of the string on the fishing rod if it doesn’t already have one.
You’re going to print, cut and laminate the fish and CVC flashcards included in the PDF.
Now, you’re going to want to make the fish magnetic. To do this, I attach a paperclip with tape to the underneath of the fish. And then slightly bend the paperclip up. This makes it easier for students to hook the fish with a fishing rod.
Which CVC Word?
With the flashcards, you can either hide these in little bags and students have to pull one out randomly without looking or you can pass them out to students for them to find.
The idea, is that the student will have the flashcard, then attempt to locate the matching CVC word fish and pick it up with their fishing rod.
I must stress, you know your students the best and you will know what their ability level is. You may be best splitting this game up into smaller groups so that students of a similar ability are together.
And you can use as many or as few fish/medial vowel groups at a time as you wish.
You can even add some fun sea creatures into the mix just to add a little something and set the scene a bit more. I also used a blue table cloth to make it feel more like a sea.
