Description of Play:
On each turn, players choose one each of three different egg card types: whole egg, just cracking egg, and VERY cracked egg. Keeping the cards in that order, the player flips the cards to reveal the letters on the other side. Do these letters make a good word? If so, a "chick" has hatched and the word is recorded on the handwriting lines on one chick on the player's game page. The winner is the first to make, read, and write four good short vowel words and fill their game page.
