Description

Teach vocabulary and build reading fluency using the 250 vocabulary words in this game! Your student may be familiar with some words in this 3-level game, but I suspect there will be some new, fun words such as web, dud, drip, grub, sand, bunt, gulp, strict, and blast. These aren’t words you’ll find in your typical beginning level reading books! Such choices add a lot of fun to the game—and to each players vocabulary! On your turn, draw a card and sound out the word using a 3-step process (add the suggested actions, if desired). First, say each letter sound (/b-a-d/). Then, blend the first consonants and vowels: /ba/. For step 3, read the full word: /bad/. When you read the word correctly, add the card to your personal pile. During your turn, you can take a chance and continue drawing cards. But be careful! A Popped! card will end your turn and you’ll have to return all your cards to the draw deck. But a Balloon Dog card scores you 3 extra cards, and you can continue playing. When the deck runs out, the player with the largest card pile wins!

  All the words use only “short” vowel sounds. The real challenge comes with the multiple consonant combinations. Decks are designed by Jeff Koons, creator of the original Balloon Dog (a mirror-polished stainless-steel dog art statue with transparent color coating). Choose your deck based on the letter combinations (or corresponding reading level) you want to practice, or mix all three decks together. Deck 1, identified by 1 gold balloon dog (PK-1st) contains CVC words. Deck 2 (2 blue balloon dogs) adds CCVC patterns (K-1st grade); and Deck 3 (3 hot pink balloon dogs) includes CVCC and CCVCC (typically 1st through 2nd grades). The included brochure explains both the game rules and an explanation of how the game aligns with the Science of Reading. Includes a “Keep on Reading! Bookmark with a Balloon Dog illustration and a Jeff Koons’ signature. ~ Ruth
