Phonics Card Games for Decoding Nonsense Words Bundle for Nonsense Word Practice
(281 ratings)$7.00 $5.50
Get BundleThese crazy phonics card games use the science of reading to help kids who need extra practice with nonsense word decoding strategies and syllable division rules. In Crazy Words, players must read single-syllable nonsense words to get rid of their cards. And in Crazy Nonsense Words 2 - Multisyllable Edition, players must use decoding skills to read multisyllable nonsense words correctly.
Both games are great for providing practice with syllable division rules, syllable types, and decoding skills. Plus, they're just plain fun! So if you're looking for a fun way to help your kids brush up on their phonics skills, grab this bundle of Crazy Words card games today.
Word cards were created using EZRead Kids Font made for dyslexic readers and students that learn differently. This game can be used as extra practice for students using any Orton Gillingham-based reading program. Players practice identifying letters and blending sounds to decode words.
Cards may also be used as flashcards or as a matching game activity. This game provides differentiated instruction for tutoring sessions, general classroom use, homeschool, and special education.
The decoding skills used in these words include syllable division, v-e syllables, closed syllables, open syllables, r-controlled syllables, le syllables, vowel teams, short vowel sounds, consonants, digraphs, CVC words, the sounds of am and an, the ll,ss,ff spelling rule, the suffix s, blends, and welded sounds (ing, ang, ong, ung, ink, ank, onk, and unk). A list of words used in this game is provided. You also get an editable PowerPoint file to add your own words.

One of the best TPT products I have purchased! I tutored over the summer and created different sets of words (real and nonsense) to give decoding practice to the students I worked with. Not only did they love playing, but their confidence in reading words grew!

Lesa P.
Grades taught: 1st
I use this game in my small groups. Students are constantly asking me when we will play again. They love this game. I typically have students match by feature instead of color or number. So if the last card has a short a sound the card they lay must have a short a sound. If a word starts with ch the next card layed has to have ch somewhere in it. This has really helped students identify parts of words!
Jennifer Y.
Grades taught: 5th
This is a great resource! My students absolutely loved using this game to strengthen their nonsense word fluency!

This is a wonderful product. My students love it!
Andria R.
Grades taught: 1st
All kids love UNO and most kids don't like nonsense words, so I have found putting them together makes it a little more tolerable for my students especially when they get to play regular UNO after (if there has been no complaining!). :)
Megan B.
Grades taught: 2nd
We have been having so much fun playing this game and learning how to decode with nonsense words. The editable cards are great too to add any more words students can use or to use to practice other skills. Thank you!

Miss L.
Grades taught: 2nd
This was a great game for students who are already familiar with how to play Uno. I laminated the cards to make them last longer. I hope to use it more and make it more difficult as the year goes on to include vowel teams, magic e, diphthongs and multisyllabic words.
Lindsay P.
Grades taught: 7th, 8th
I use this in my classroom as well as for intervention work with struggling readers. They love that it’s a game and the fun way it has them work on sounds is brilliant! So fantastic to see them have to ‘work’ to say the nonsense words!
Katie N.
Grades taught: 2nd, 3rd, 4th

Cassandra E.
Grades taught: 2nd
My students love playing this game during our morning ELA rotations! I teach in a grade 1/2/3 split, so the fact that there are multiple levels is wonderful. All ages enjoy it immensely, and often it is the first game out of the tubs. I also use it during teacher time with students, often to help figure out which phonics skill to focus on next with an individual or group of students. I've also used the blank cards to create another deck of only CVC nonsense words for my emergent readers. Thanks so for a great resource!
Raylin J.
Grades taught: 1st, 2nd, 3rd

Jen H.

My intervention students love this game. I added some multisyllable words with the syllable types they have learned to practice decoding skills.
Darlene H.
Grades taught: 4th
What a super fun game! It did use lots of colored ink and took lots of time to prepare. A black and white copy would have been nice to have so that I could have copied on colored paper. My students liked the familiarity of the game and it is lots more fun that doing a worksheet
Kimberly B.
Grades taught: 1st

My students loved this game because it was close to Uno and another game that we have played. it did not take a lot of instructions on how to plat because of the similarities.
Jeanne B.
Grades taught: 3rd, 4th
I have loved using this as a fun game for my small group. My students love it too. I love how it uses Nonsense words to help students apply phonics rules to words that are not familiar to them.

Heather T.

I use this resource for remediatoin of phonics skills. My students have a love/hate reaction to this resource. It helps them, but they hate nonsense words.
Marsha J.
Grades taught: 5th
We added an element to the game that my kids loved-making up definitions for the silly words. Requam is when you feel like eating spaghetti, but you only have pizza and it just doesn’t satisfy you. My children loved this. I like to gauge their abilities to decode words once in a while, as they mostly read to themselves, so this was perfect.
Diane E.
Grades taught: 3rd
I use this for tutoring with individual students and it keeps their attention and is great practice for short vowel syllablication rules

Erin D.
Grades taught: 2nd
Right now, I am using this over the summer with my own child. He is a pretty good reader (through using context clues and some phonics), but he struggles with decoding. These are perfect because he can't just guess the word. He loves playing and he has made some good progress with his decoding skills. This is a fantastic resource that I will definitely use in the classroom as well! Thank you!!

My students loved the game. It's a fun way to learn what can be repetitive and boring!
Donna E.
Grades taught: 5th
I am always looking for ways to have my students practice nonsense words and this was such a fun way to get that practice in! Most of my students have played Uno before so they were already familiar with the basic structure of the game, which allowed them to focus more on the nonsense words. Such a great idea!
Abigail R.
Grades taught: 1st, 2nd, 3rd
Awesome, engaging, and fun!
Eva K.
Grades taught: 2nd
This is SUCH a fun game! My students who really struggle with reading and implementing their phonics knowledge in their everyday reading asked to play this all the time! Highly engaging and fun to say silly nonsense words!
