 Match-a-Sight Word
How to Play:
Players take turns rolling the two dice. On the player’s turn, he reads
the word on each die and tells if the words match or not. If they do
not match, the next player takes his turn. If a player rolls words that
DO match, he gets to roll again. Players can also keep score with a
point given each time a player rolls a rhyme.
