Introducing the Shazam! CVC Word FamiliesShazam! is fun and easy to play. Be sure to practice pronouncing “Abracadabra” and “Shazam” with your students before play, as they are fun but difficult words to pronounce. The five color-coded sets of cards present word families with the same vowel sound. For example, the blue-bordered cards include only short-a word families, and the purple-bordered cards include only short-e word families. After students have mastered the same-vowel word families, invite them to play with the green-bordered cards, which feature mixed-vowel word families.

Play starts with the Abracadabra Card and ends with the Shazam! Card.

The game continues at a fast pace as players read each card aloud and check to see if they have the next word in the sequence. The Desktop Prop and Park™, or a piece of construction paper folded into a tent, makes it easier for players to hold the cards upright and quickly check to see if one of their words is named. The game is over when all the CVC words have been found and the final Shazam! Card is read.

Model the game, using the instructions opposite, until students are familiar with the rules and procedures, and then allow students to play the games independently or at a literacy center. Keep the Instructions nearby during play. Assign an aide or student volunteer to set up and oversee the game.
