What is the CCVC Quick-Fire Relay?
A fast, whole-class team race through the same bank of CCVC words. Split the class into two or three teams: each team gets its own board, the word is said twice, a whistle blows, and the first team to get it right wins a bonus star.
The game follows the PDF stage by stage:
Find the Picture: hear the word, then find its picture.
Hear the Blend: listen to the blend, then find it on the cards.
Choose the Blend: choose the beginning blend for each picture.
Connect the Sounds: join the blend to the ending to make the word.
Match the Word: join each word to its picture.
Word Relay: look at the picture and listen, then find the word.
Words Relay: just listen, then find the word: no picture to help (a new extra stage in the game).
