   - Once all the cards are found, players share their findings and discuss the sounds represented by soft c and g in each word.

Y's Job Relay:
   - Divide players into teams and set up 3 stations representing the different jobs of Y (long e, long i, and short i).
   - Place flashcards at each station, displaying words where Y acts as a different sound.
   - Players take turns racing to the stations, identifying the role of Y in the displayed words, and writing down as many words they can think of that use Y in the same way before moving to the next station.
   - The team to generate the most Y as a vowel words wins the relay.
