Dangerous Game and ARR Freebie

I learned a very important lesson today.  It can be really dangerous to have a small group of first graders work on thinking of words with the /or/ sound.  It was going great!  We had or, more, cord, Ford, for, corn.  Then...it happened.  One of my darlings said something.  It rhymes with corn and begins with a p. 

I quickly moved on, and I don't think any of the others even realized what was said.  But a few minutes later, she said it AGAIN!

It is really making me think twice about brainstorming words with certain sounds!

Along with the /or/ sound, we have been working on the r-controlled vowel sound of /ar/.  When I think of /ar/, I think of pirates.  I created a little book to go along with this sound. 

This little book is ten pages long, but it has two of each page on one sheet of paper.  The children read the story about Charlie.  On each page, they write the /ar/ words on the line provided.  The last page has them think of and write as many /ar/ words as they can.
