Have your child turn over two cards, trying to make a match. Or see if they can collect all of the coins.Ĭoncentration: Create two sets of word cards. If they get the word correctly, they keep the coin. Children take turns tossing a coin onto a word and saying the word. Have them practice the other sight words on the way down.Ĭoin Toss: Put words on the floor. Let them pick one sight word on the way up, saying the word and picking up the card when they get it correctly. Stair Chase: Place two sight word cards on each stair. The first person to 5 cards (or 10) wins! If they pull out one of the cards that says SNAP, they have to put all of the card they’ve drawn back. If they struggle, they have to put it back. If they can say the word on the card automatically with no struggle, they get to keep the card. They take turns pulling a card out of the jar. The kids can play in partners or in a groups of 3 or 4 with siblings. Also, you write the word SNAP on a few flash cards and put them in to the jar.
