Sight word practice

I made a sight word game with sight words I found at the Dollar Store. I taped the words in a path around the room.

We read through them many times before we started playing the game. The point is to get to read the words well and fast enough that they are memorized. We started at the starting point and walked the "path" until the end.

 I tried to make the first words make a sentence, but after that it just sounds like babble.

I made the last word be "Stop." 

Here's our rules:

If you miss a word, you start over.

You have 1 minute to read them all

We are still working on it.

**Update: This activity is a great way to practice sight words, but didn't work for us. After two days on the floor, half the words were eaten or chewed by little brother. He dominates the floor right now and eats everything he can get into his mouth. We ended up pulling all the words up. I need another way to do this instead. Any ideas?

Sight Word I-Spy Bags

I made these using felt, clear plastic material, large lima beans, and colored pasta.

Each one of these took a piece of felt which was

half (hamburger end) of an 8 1/2 by 11 inch piece of felt. 

I took a regular size piece of felt and cut it in half (8 1/2 by 5 1/2 inch)

and then folded it to make the bags. 

I cut out a rectangle piece on the front and sewed a piece of

clear plastic material (it is the material you use as a clear table cloth or shower curtain).

 Here is a close up of one bag.

I took large lima beans and wrote on them with permanent markers.

I then put colored pasta as extra stuffing.

I sewed a letter or number on the back (before you stuff or sew it together). 

This helps me remember what sight words are in each bag.

P = Preschool, K=Kindergarter, 1=1st grade, 2=2nd grade, 3=3rd grade.

I also made a laminated list that goes with each bag.
