Printable CVC Board Games

Check out the list of materials that we use with these printables.

What are CVC Words?

CVC words are short, simple words that contain consonant-vowel-consonant sounds. These short words are easy for children to learn to break down into individual sounds, making them perfect for beginner readers to learn.

Why are CVC Words Important?

Learning CVC words help show children that letters translate into sounds. These sounds can then be blended into words. Once children work this out, their reading skills really start to improve greatly.

Due to the ease of decoding these short words, they become a powerful motivator for children as they become more experienced at reading.

Once they have the ability to sound out these simple words, they begin to use these skills on more complex words with more sounds.

CVC words are a great place to start when teaching children to become fluent readers.

The record sheet can also be laminated and used with a dry-erase marker or this sheet could just be printed out each time they play the games.

Using the CVC Board Games

To play these games, each player will need their own counter or marker and a die.

Both players place a game piece on the starting place.

The first player rolls a die and moves forward the number of spaces. They must say the CVC word on the space that they land.

The second player then has their turn.

Continue until both players reach the finish.

Players can also write the CVC word in the record sheet.
