[oi, oy] The "Piggy" Diphthong Game

In our classroom, we call diphthong oi and diphthong oy the "piggy" diphthongs.

You know, because they make the same sound as OINK?!  ;)

These dipthongs tend to be tricky for my early readers (and some of my more advanced readers, too).  So. . .I came up with this little gamboard which only requires a copy of the game, a die, and something to use as a marker for each player.

The "bonus" pathways ask the player to actually tell the rule (oi comes at the beginning or in the middle, oy comes at the end).  I realize this is a generality, but it's what we teach.

Hope you can use this in your classroom.
