•Turn the timer over to start a two-minute round. All players build words at the same time.

• Snap your Rods together to make as many words as possible. Check all sides of each Rod for as many

word combinations as possible. Use any extra time to mix and match Rods to find

the combinations that give you the most words.

•At the end of the two-minute round, write down all of the words you made on your score sheet. Remember

to write down words from all sides of the Rods.

•Break apart your Rods and pass them to the player to

your left.

•Turn over the timer and build words with your new Rods.

•When the time is up, add your new words to your list.

•Break apart the Rods again.

•If there are more than two players, pass the Rods to the left again and continue to play until each player

has had a turn using each set of Rods.

•After all players have used each set of Rods to build words, take turns reading and spelling your word lists

out loud.

How to Score

•You only receive points for words spelled correctly.

•If you share the same word with another player the word is crossed off both players’ lists.

•One point is awarded for each unique word on your list.

•The player with the most points wins the game.

Variations for Young Word Builders

A. Start with 4 blue Rods and 2 red Rods.

B. Start with 3 blue Rods and 3 yellow (red print) Rods.

In these variations, one point is awarded for all words spelled correctly. Words can be shared on player

lists.

Challenging Variations

A. Start with 8 blue Rods and 5 red Rods (1 of each vowel a, e, i, o, u). Players must use all vowels during

a round in order for their words to count.

B. Choose either long or short vowel sounds as target

words. Players receive an extra point for each word

using these sounds.

Examples:

Target = long vowel words: Receive an extra point

for the word "stone" since it has the long "o" sound.

Target = short "i" words: Receive an extra point for

the word "pin" since it has the short "i" sound.

Teachers, parents, and players are encouraged to mix and match Rod combinations to create new variations

and levels

of play. Specific phonics and word-building skills can be isolated for additional skill reinforcement. For exam-

ple: long and short vowels, silent e, vowel combinations, and beginning or ending blends.
