Snap Words

At the beginning of the year your will be provided with a list of the first grade sight words. Your child will come home with the words that we are currently working on in the classroom. The words will be in flashcard form; if you choose to cut them out to use as flashcards, I highly recommend gluing the words onto index cards. 

The following are a list of games you can use for sight word practice:

Memory- 

Classic Memory game…Write words two times on index cards. Flip over. Find the match. If you can not say the word you do not get to keep the card.

 Go Fish- 

Write words two times on index cards. Deal 4-7 cards to each player. Players take turns asking each other for words to make matches. First player with no cards wins.

 POP!-

Write sight/vocabulary words on Popsicle sticks. Write the word POP! on 2-4 sticks. Stick all Popsicle sticks words down into a cup.  Each player takes turns taking a stick out. If they can read the word they get to keep the stick. If they do not, put the stick back in. If you pull POP! you must put all your sticks back in the cup. Player with the most sticks at the end wins. Keep POP! sticks out of cup once they are pulled.

 Shake it up!-

Write words on index cards. Put words into a container and shake the container. Dump words onto the floor. Any word that is facing up can be played. Player reads the words. If they can read it, they keep it, if not the other player gets a chance to read that same word.  If no one can read it, pull the card out of the game. Repeat with words that were not facing up. Most cards wins.

 Hop on a Word-

Write words on large pieces of paper (copy paper size works best). Also write START and FINISH on a piece of paper. Lay papers on the floor. Player will start on the START and “hop” on the words to get to the finish. (arrange papers so the player will need to hop on at least 3 words in order to get to the FINISH.). Player can hop to any word to get the FINISH but the words must be touching (the player can go left, right, forward or backwards). They may not hop OVER words to get to the FINISH faster. Add more players… they will have to “find” a way to get to the finish first. Only one player may be on a word at a time.

 Flip a Word-

Write sight words on the back of playing cards (themed ones from Target’s dollar bin work great)! Use a spatula and “flip” a card over. If the player can read the word they get to keep it.

 SWAT! - 
Lay cards out on a table or floor and write words or phonograms on the cards. Get 2 fly swatters. A 3rd player calls out a phonogram or sight word and the first player to find the word and “swat” it gets a point.
