Go Fish for Contractions is played just like the traditional "Go Fish" game. In this game, students ask for the opposite of a card that they already have. For example, if a student has "will not", he/she must ask for "won't". If no one has that card, the player must pick a card from the deck. The player with the most pairs at the end wins!
This game includes a recording sheet and a sentence writing sheet.

Love it! Thank you, thank you! Just wanted to add one little thing I noticed. The font you used is very cute but I thought when it came to I'll and I'm the apostrophe combined with the font choice made it hard to decipher for my kids. But it is a very nice game. Thanks for posting.

I love the game but it won't print. The pdf file says there is a drawing error. I've tried downloading it several times. Any suggestions? I'd love to put it in a center!
Awesome! Very useful...and cute! Thank you for sharing for free. :)

This is a perfect game for first graders, too. We have been working on contractions this last quarter and this will be great for independent practice. Thank you for making it free.

Valerie, thank you for posting this excellent quality activity! I am a student teacher in a grade 2 classroom and we're working on contractions. I have been thinking of doing something like this in our centers but simply have NOT had the time to make it up, THANK YOU!

I love the smiley sentences, but have HS students! One in particular has dysgraphia, so this would be especially helpful for him (with the finger space idea) but this is too childish to use in the classroom. Is there any way to modify this into a HS version, not just for him, but for all my "poor writers"?
I have used this game with my grade 1 and 2 students and none of them had a hard time holding the round cards. Maybe it was because they only had a few cards in their hands at a time...
If your students struggle with holding the round cards, I would suggest that you cut them up into squares instead. Hope this helps!
