About This Lesson
This is great literacy center for a Nursery Rhyme unit. Copy the gameboards and cards on cardstock paper and laminate. Each child is given a gameboard and fills it with six high frequency words or letters. The rest of the cards are placed in a draw pile. Children take turns shaking a die and reading the word or letter on that number. If the child can read it, he takes the card off and replaces it with another card from the draw pile. If the child cannot read the letter or word, it stays on the gameboard. The child with the most cards read wins.
