Practice decoding words with OA vowel team conventions for representing long vowel sounds with this BINGO game for up to 18 players.

Identify Words With OA Vowel Teams

Use this resource in your reading center, as a guided reading activity, or a whole class exercise (see below) to practice decoding OA vowel team words.

To play, students listen to the calling card and cover the picture of the “oa” word if it appears on their BINGO board. 

The OA vowel team words your students will hear and identify in this game are: 

  • coat
  • goat
  • soap
  • toad
  • boat
  • toast
  • goal
  • coal
  • loaf
  • float
  • road
  • coach

Scaffolding + Extension Tips 

Challenge students who already understand the concept to put the cards in alphabetical order, thinking logically about how each letter in the word contributes to its ordering on a list. 

Support students who need help understanding the concepts by using a vowel phonemes poster or an anchor chart as a visual reference. 

More Long Vowel Teams Activities

Use this resource as independent practice for fast finishers and full-class learning opportunities like scoot activities, lesson reviews, formative assessments, and more.

Swat! 

During small group instruction, create a grid of cards on top of a table and give each student a fly swatter. Read the word on one of the cards. The first student to swat the word correctly sets the card aside in their own pile to keep score. The student with the most cards wins. 

Upcycle into Playing Cards

Print off 2 sets of word cards! Students can play card games like Match It, Go Fish, or Snap to practice identifying OA words long after the thrill of BINGO is over.
