5-day Lesson Plan Outline
Please note that this is a SUGGESTED lesson plan outline.
Please adjust as you see fit for your child(ren).
Day 1: Who’s on Base?
• Sort word cards from pg. 7 by double and no change to base word
• Introduce “rule” for doubling (single short vowel, single consonant at
the end of the base word) and no change of base words (either
long vowel with two vowels or single vowel with TWO consonants
already at the end of the base word)
• Follow directions on pg. 3
Day 2: Who’s on Base?
• Look at patterns in word cards from pg. 8
• Talk about the “rule” for e-drop (base word had a silent e that was
dropped before the –ing or the –ed was added)
• Follow directions on pg. 3
Day 3: Run the Bases File Folder Game
• Use word cards from pg. 7, review “rules” for doubling and no
change to base word
• play Run the Bases together
Day 4: Run the Bases File Fold Game
• Use word cards from pg. 7 and 8 to play Run the Bases together
Day 5: Get on Base!

independence. Look for words that have –ing and –ed. Record the word
in the left column and write the base word in the right column.

Run the Bases
A Game of Base Words
To Prepare:
• Print game board pieces onto paper. Glue into a file folder or 11x14
piece of construction paper side-by-side.
• Print off game cards onto cardstock and laminate for durability.
• Use a large paper clip and pencil for the spinner.
• Place cards face down in the pile.
To Play: (for 2-4 players)
• When it is a player’s turn, he spins a paper clip on the spinner.
• If a player lands on One Base, Two Bases, Three Bases or Run
Home!, the player picks a card from the stack. The player locates
and spells the base word from the card then reads the entire word.
In some cases, a silent e will need to be added back to the base word
(like in write). If the player is able to locate/spell the base word and
read the entire word, he or she can move as indicated in his spin.
Players take turns in this fashion. (If a player is on third base and
spins “two bases”, players can decide if he just runs home or if he
can score a run, then also go to first base in the same turn.)
• If a player lands on Strike Out!, that player loses his turn.
• Players can keep score on a scrap piece of paper or dry erase
board.
• The game is over after a certain amount of time (decided before
play). Players can also decide ahead of time that the first person to
score 10 runs (or 20 runs, etc.) is the winner.
