 You will need:

Print boards and laminate. I print 1 game on each side- this makes it easy to revise and

reinforce the previous list when children have moved on.

One die (yes die is the singular, dice is the plural)Coloured counters for each player e.g. Player 1 = red Player 2 = green.

How to Play:

1. Roll the die.

2. Read a word with the same number as the dice.

3. Place one coloured counter on the word if read correctly

4. The winner is the one to have 4 in a row either vertically, horizontally ordiagonally.

Tips and Hints

• This game works best as a two player game.

• Can be played without a die- children just choose word.

• Try playing best of three plays – this helps to reinforce sight vocabulary.

• Rules can be adapted to get children to spell the word.

• Boards can be adapted for phonic groups – just highlight and type.

Dear People of the World,

Feel free to tell your colleagues and friends all about this

game, but please link to the page

http://www.adrianbruce.com/reading/room2/4inarow/

and NOT directly to the .pdf or .doc file

Why?

1. They will benefit more from seeing my whole site

http://www.adrianbruce.com/reading/games.htm

2. It skews the download statistics which effects the site’s funding -

Which is what keeps it free.

Thanking you in advance

Adrian Bruce
