In this exciting game students practice adding the -ed ending and reading them. Players take turns picking a card and if read correctly by adding the -ed ending they get to keep the card.

If the player reads it correctly they earn a cube/counter. The player with the most at the end wins! The kiddos love this game!

This project can be modified to fit any grade level! Locate an additional gra

Students cut out flap to glue/tape over their drawing of an animal from one of the animal groups they have learned about (mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds, fish).
