Jeopardy
This game can be found in Words Their Way, p. 195 – 196.
Objective: The student will develop understanding of words in the categories of “g o j”,
ll o y”, h muda, y “b o v”
Number of players: 4 – 6 players
Materials: Game board, colored index cards with words and definitions, play money.
(Optional)
Procedure: The teacher or one player is the game host. Hang the Jeopardy game board so
everyone can see it. The game begins when the first player chooses a category and an
amount on the envelope. He/she says, “I’ll take category “g o j” for $50.00.” The game host
picks the card and reads the answer. The player must respond in the form of a question.
For example:
Game host says: “La respuesta es: Tienda donde se venden joyas.”
Player responds: “¿Qué es joyería? j-o-y-e-r-í-a
The player must state the question and spell the answer correctly to get the money. If the
player doesn’t answer correctly, the next player takes a turn and the card is replaced into
the pocket on the game board. (Variation: If there is no play money, group players in teams
and keep score of points earned.)
The students play until there are no more cards in the pockets on the game board .
The winner is the person who has the most money, or the team with the most points at the
end of the game.
The students may need assistance with the vocabulary at the beginning. A list of the
words used in the game may be posted on chart paper. After the players familiarize
themselves with the words, the list can be removed.
The students can help make the game by writing the words on colored index cards for
the pockets. As they write the card, they write the word on the chart paper.
Variation: After the students become familiar with the game, they can play Double
Jeopardy. They receive double the money when they answer correctly.
This game can be adapted for word study, vocabulary development, or in science or
social studies to learn unit vocabulary words

Lotería – Grupos Consonánticos
Objective: Word study of the following blends: ch, pr, br, dr, tr, fl,
bl, fr, tr, cr, gr and cl.
Materials: Lotto boards for 4 players, game pieces to cover each
blend, picture blend cards or word blend cards.
Procedure: The caller asks each player to place a game piece on the
blank free space on each lotto card. Tell the players that their game
card may have some squares with the same blend. When a blend word
or picture card is called out, the player may put the game piece on only
one square with that blend, not all the squares with that blend. The
caller begins calling out the printed words or shows a picture card of a
blend word. The winner is the person who gets four squares filled in a
row, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally. The winner then
becomes the new caller.
Variation: The blend picture cards and word cards can be used as a
word sort, according to each blend.

Ocho Loco Card Game
c (suave), x, z, s
Objective: The students will practice differentiating between c, x, z, & s words
in the Crazy 8 card game.*
Number of Players: 4 – 6
Materials: Deck of Ocho Loco cards. The cards consist of 12 words for each
letter; suave c, x, z, & s, 5 “Ocho Loco”, 5 “Toma dos Tarjetas”, and 4 letter
category cards. (See attached word list.) When preparing cards make sure the
word is glued to the top of the card so that students holding cards can see the
word.
Procedure: The dealer deals each player 8 cards. The four letter category cards
are placed face up in a semi-circle on the table in front of the players. One card is
turned face up next to the remaining cards, which are face down. The first player
must play a card from his hand that matches the same letter sound as the card
which was turned up to begin play. As he plays his card, he says the word correctly
and places it below the matching letter card. The next player must follow suit. If
the player can’t play, he can play an “Ocho Loco” card to change the suit, or a
“Toma dos Tarjetas” card. The “Ocho Loco” card allows him to change the suit and
play a different letter card. The “Toma dos Tarjeta” card makes the next player
draw two cards and lose his turn. If the player doesn’t have a “Ocho Loco” or a
“Toma dos Tarjetas” card, he may draw up to three cards from the stack. If he
still can’t play, he passes his turn. The game continues until one person has only
one card. He then knocks on the table and says “Una tarjeta”. The first player to
discard all his cards wins the game.
Variation: The dealer can deal fewer cards to shorten the came. However this
doesn’t always guarantee the game to be shorter.
Another variation is to use the word cards in a word sort.

Ocho Loco Card Game
Objective: The students will learn to identify where the stress of the word is and
categorize the words as agudas, graves, esdrújulas and sobresdrújulas.
Number of Players: 4 – 6 players
Materials: Deck of ocho loco cards. The cards are made using accented words: 13
agudas, 13 graves, 13 esdrújulas, and 13 sobresdrújulas, 5 “ocho loco”, 5 “toma dos
tarjetas”, and 4 accent category cards. (See attached word list and cards.)
Procedure: The dealer deals each player 8 cards. The four accent rule cards are
placed face up on the table in front of the players. One card is turned face up
next to the remaining cards, which are face down. The first player must play a
card that matches the same accent of the word. As he plays, he places his card
upon the accent rule card & says the word correctly. The next player follows suit.
If a player can’t play, he may play an “ocho loco”, or a “toma dos tarjetas” card.
The “ocho loco” card allows him to change the suit and play a different accent rule.
The “toma dos tarjeta” card makes the next player draw two cards and lose his
turn. These cards can be played anytime during the game. If the player doesn’t
have an “ocho loco” or “toma dos” card, he may draw up to three cards from the
stack. If he still can’t play, he passes his turn. The game continues until one
person has one card. He then knocks on the table and says “Una tarjeta”. The
first player to discard all his cards wins the game.
Variation: The dealer can deal fewer cards to shorten the game.
These words may also be used as a word sort to identify the rule that applies to
the accented word. This game can also be adapted to other word study features.
Follow-up: After playing the game, the players write two different words on 2
stick-on notes. Invite them to write more examples of each accent type. Put
these words on the chart below the appropriate accent rule. Invite the students
to share what they learned about accent words.

Cochinito*
Objective: To develop fluency using words containing suffixes,
prefixes, and plurals.
Number of players: 4 – 6 players
Materials: Deck of 50 Palabras Poderosas, containing stop sign
and pig cards. (See attached stop signs and pigs and words for
game.) When preparing cards make sure the word is glued to the
top of the card so that students holding cards can see the word.
Procedure: The dealer shuffles the cards. She deals one card at
time to the first player. The player continues to say the words
quickly and accurately until he is dealt a stop sign or a pig card.
If he receives a stop sign, he gets to keep the cards he has been
dealt and the play goes to the next player. If he receives a pig
card, the dealer takes all his cards. If the player misses the
word, the next player says the word. If the player doesn’t know
the word, he may say “Pass.” The person who has the most cards
at the end of the game wins! The idea is to make this game quick
and lively! This game will improve fluency and increase the visual
memory bank of these powerful words!
