Our kiddos just love it when we add a little holiday fun into literacy centers.  The 4-In-A-Row games are ideal for literacy center activities as students can play these games with partners while learning targeted phonics skills.  Playing 4-In-A-Row is pretty easy.  Students just take turns reading the words on the game board and placing their colored chips in the square.  The first player to have 4 of their colored chips in a row wins the game.   When you download this activity you’ll receive 12 phonics-based game boards for practicing vowel teams, long vowel sound spelling patterns (for example:  i/ie/igh/y), and r-controlled vowels. The St. Patrick’s Day 4-In-A-Row Game Boards for Phonics is available through the Make, Take &
