In case you need a reminder, a contraction word is a word made by shortening and combining two words. Words like he’ll (he + will) and they’d (they + would) are all contractions taught in English grammar (language arts) typically in early elementary school – grade 1, grade 2, grade 3, and grade 4.

Start by scrolling to the bottom of the post and click on the text link that says >> Download <<. The pdf file will open in a new window for you to save the freebie and print the pages. I suggest printing the activity below in color on cardstock. You may also want to use a laminator for durability.
You can play with just one color at a time or all at once for a big, challenging game for more players. Kids can work cooperatively to make tracks or play as a game by passing out all the dominoes and then taking turns one at a time adding a tile until one player is out.
Whether you are a parent, teacher, or homeschooler – this fun english grammar activity is a great way to achieve fluency and help kids remember contraction words with 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade students.
