Sight Word Games

I'm sure many of you are always looking for new, engaging ideas for sight word practice in your classroom.  I'm always trying to think of new ways to keep my kids engaged and practicing their sight words each week.  Our school uses Reading Street for phonics and sight word instruction so each week we introduce between 5 and 7 new sight words.  That's a lot of sight words in a week!! So...we practice sight words a ton during the week.  More information about the different ways we work on sight words in a later post!


This year my kiddos LOVE games... they are so motivated by games I knew I needed to create some different games to keep them practicing their sight words.  This is where my sight word games Spin It, Read It, Find It (trying to think of a catchier name!) were born.  This game has the kids spin and read sight words and then try to find and mark the words on their game board.

In recent weeks I have changed up the game boards and have included two additional game boards. One board has the kids trace the sight words they spin.   For a fun change of pace I will have the kids trace in colored pencils or thin markers!  They love this and it keeps them motivated to do their best work.  Here the kids traced with pencil... it's the first week we have traced so they were excited just to try something new.

The other game board has the kids write the sight words they spin.  Using thin markers or colored pencils is a great way to keep this fresh if your kids need a change.

 I have posted three games to my Teachers Pay Teachers store and will continue to post games each week!  Click any picture to go to my TPT store.

 Enjoy:)
