Diphthongs - matching dominoes - words
Worksheet description
Eight matching dominoes - single syllable words (usually with different spellings) containing the same diphthong sounds. Example: light | bite . Southern British English
Instructions
Note: Two sets of 8 dominoes are included in this single sheet.
Cut up the dominoes and divide equally among students. One student lays a domino at random to start the activity.
Students must then add the previous or next domino to continue the chain. Encourage students to say the words aloud rather than silently match them.
It is important that they do this one domino at a time; trying to match all the dominoes at once is very challenging. Matching one-by-one ensures that all students focus on every example.
