This is the Image Sort Game.  I created an image of the bells and grouped the word with the bell.  Use as a whole group mini-lesson or as a literacy center to sort "ang and ing" words.  If using as a literacy center, duplicate the page multiple times so your students can rotate through the center.  Or you can keep all three games together and let your students play all 3 versions.

The Vortex Word Sort - Students sort the "ang" and "ing" words by their word pattern.  If they are right, the word gets sucked into the vortex.  If they are wrong, the vortex spits it back out.  Students love to be wrong on this game:)  Use it as an opportunity as to what does NOT belong. Use as a whole group mini-lesson or as a literacy center.  If using as a literacy center, duplicate the page multiple times so your students can rotate through the center.  Or you can keep all three games together and let your students play all 3 versions.

Matching Pairs  - Students match words ending with the "ang, ing, ong, ung" word patterns. Tiles disappear when the words match.  Play continues until board is cleared. Use as a whole group mini-lesson or as a literacy center.  If using as a literacy center, duplicate the page multiple times so your students can rotate through the center.  Or you can keep all three games together and let your students play all 3 versions.
