Hello again! I'm stopping by today with another interactive sight word activity that you can (hopefully!) use in your classroom.
This activity is one that is perfect to use during your whole class teaching time. It's also a great time-filler if you ever have 5 extra minutes that haven't been planned for. :) I call it Sight Word Hide & Seek!
As you can see I use my pocket chart to play this game - but you really don't need one! Blu-tacking the words to a white board or wall is just as effective. To prepare this activity you just need some cards with your focus words written on them. I use the flash cards I already have - you've probably got some made up, too! On the back of 4 cards you want to tack on some little characters for your kidlets to find. I used monsters but you can use any images that fit your classroom or current theme.
The aim of the game is for all of the monsters (or whatever) to be found. Kidlets take turns to ask the question "Is there a monster behind ____?" Flip the card around to reveal if there is or not. (This is a great time to create a bit of drama just for fun!) When a monster is found everyone cheers and whoever asked the question basks in their 5 seconds of fame. :) Keep playing until all of the monsters have been found! Usually this game is nice and quick so you'll have a chance to play a few rounds at a time. Just turn your board around (or have your class cover their eyes) to hide the monsters again.
My class loves this simple game - I'm sure yours will too!
