ARRrrr Game with R-Controlled Vowels

So I've been busy, busy, busy at school but the anticipated Frankenstorm (Hurricane Sandy) leaves me with some time to upload what I've created for my students.

The latest is a game that can be used for instruction and review of spelling and pronunciation of words with r-controlled vowels spelled /ar/, /or/, /ore/.

Help the captain and his crew find the treasure by sorting the words with r-controlled vowels.

Students will pick a card, say the word and then sort/record the word by the r-controlled vowel and when completed correctly they will role the dice and move that many spaces.
