Building different words have been one of our favorite activities to do. And bugs has such a great ending of “ug”. I thought it would be fun to make some ug words for our bug week!
Hands-on mats are a great way to work on different words. These cute fireflies words and letters with a jar are great for working out the different types of words.
My girls have loved them in the Romping & Roaring Sight Words Sets. They make learning words tons of fun.
This post is part of the 5 Days of Bug Printables
This set words the same is the Making “ai” words. This time you have and word ending of “ug” that you are working on.
I printed the printables on cardstock to make sturdy. I would recomend laminating
them to last longer as a center.
Here is a look at how I set up the activity “ug” word building activity. There are only the one vowel u and the ending g for the set.. The beginning letters, blends and digraphs all match up the ug word family cards in the set. All of the letters are on small fireflies. The word cards are on bigger fireflies. I put the building page in a sheet protectors. I used a dry erase marker
for the writing area.

As you go through the cards you will see that they all have the “ug” words you will see the different beginning sounds that I put in. I tried to get a good mix of the words for kids to use. This makes a fun language learning center.

What you will find in these printables:
- 5 pages
- 2 pages of ug words on fireflies
- Firefly drop letters
- Read Build Write page with a firefly theme
