Alphabetical War (a card game)
This is a fun card game used to put words in alphabetical order. Can be used for most grades since you supply the words. Teacher Preparations:Make a deck of cards with one word per card. Can use vocabulary words, spelling words, unit and theme words, or just words out of the dictionary.
How to make the cards:
Select slides 3-10 for the back of the playing cards, or you can choose a background of your own.Print 27 copies of your selected background.Put your printed copies back into the printer, but put them in upside down, (so the faces of the cards print on the opposite side.)Slides 6-32 are the face of the playing cards.Edit the text box on each card to put your words in. Can use vocabulary words, spelling words, unit and theme words, or just words out of the dictionary.Print slides 11-32. The faces should print on the back sides of the backgrounds.Cut out your cards.
How to Play:
This is a game for two players, or for a team of two, with one person being the card holder.Deal the cards evenly between the two players, or the two cardholders if playing in a team.The person or team that has the word on the card that comes first alphabetically wins the hand and collects the card in a pile.The person or team with the most cards collected in the winner. (Just like in the game of War.)
