Vowel Team Words Adventure

Introduction to the Lesson

Welcome, young readers! Today, we are going to embark on an exciting adventure through the world of vowel team words. But first, I have a little challenge for you!

The Secret Message

I’ve hidden a secret message in the classroom! 🕵️‍♂️ You might find it in books, on posters, or hidden under your desk. But here’s the twist: the message is made up of special words that all contain vowel teams!

What Are Vowel Teams?

Before we set off to find our secret message, let’s quickly review what vowel team words are. These are words that contain two vowels that work together to make a single sound, like in the words "team," "boat," and "rain."

The Adventure Begins!

1. Treasure Hunt:

   • All right! I want you to pair up with a partner. Your mission is to explore the classroom and find as many vowel team words as you can within the next 10 minutes. Remember to keep your eyes peeled and write down the words you spot!

2. Share Your Discoveries:

   • Once the timer goes off, we will gather together to share the vowel team words you found. I will write them on the board, and we can talk about what makes them special!

3. Decoding the Secret Message:

   • After we’ve gathered our words, I will reveal that they will help us decode that secret message! We will rearrange the vowel team words we discovered to uncover something meaningful.
