Students answer questions and compete in a quiz show-style game. There are rounds of one point, double points, and triple points, each bringing more excitement and challenge! The winner is the person with the most points at the end of the game. See what prize you win!

In this version, students select the correct spelling of the long /u/ sound for each word and matching image. The game includes a variety of spelling patterns: /u/, /ui/, /u_e/, /oo/, /ew/, and /ue/. With every correct response, students build phonics confidence and deepen their understanding of vowel teams and patterns that represent the same sound.
