Free Printable Alphabetical Order “War” Card Game

It’s Day 15 of the 31 Days of Free Printables for Hands-On learning and I’m super excite to be sharing this free printable alphabetical order ‘War’ card game! I created some alphabetical order war games last year and the response has been tremendous! So I wanted to make a little gift for you, so that you could enjoy some more alphabetical order fun.

To use:

Print, laminate and cut out 3-4 copies of the Alphabetical Order “War” card game cards.

How to play:

Divide cards evenly among two players.

Place cards face down in a stack

Players each turn over one card at the same time

Player with the word that comes FIRST in alphabetical order takes both cards and adds them to the bottom of their pile

In case of tie, each player lays down three cards face down and then turns the third card. First in alphabetical order wins all the cards.

Play continues as time allows or one player runs out of cards

Extension: Choose ten cards from one set, put them in alphabetical order and record them on the provided sheet.

After you’ve fallen in love with this game like we have, you can get more alphabetical order “War” card game sets here. They have been one of my most popular resources for the last year and they specialize in easy-to-read words starting with a CVC reading level and progressing from there to other commonly used words.
