<STRONG>Cut the bones</STRONG>. With Crayola® Scissors, cut out 20 or more rectangles from recycled foam produce trays. Make sure these "bones" are big enough on which to write a word and sound.
3.
<STRONG> Fill the bones</STRONG>. With Crayola Gel Markers, divide each rectangle in half. Write a long vowel sound such as ee, oa, ai, y, i-e, ea, oo, ay, or igh on one side of each rectangle. Write words that have these sounds on the other side. Mix up the sounds and words.

<STRONG>Play!</STRONG> Shuffle bones face down. Pick five. First player lays a tile down. Other players add matching words or corresponding vowel sounds. If a player cannot move, pick tiles until you are able to add one.
