SPLAT - Sight Word Game
by Denise
This has been a fun way to drill and practice sight word recognition. I have created sight word cards. I placed 'hook only' velcro on the back and attached them to a pin up board.
I bought two fly swatters. Chn challenge each other at the board. The teacher or a chosen leader (you can choose a more capable student) to spell or say the word. The two challenging students scan the board looking for the word.
The first one to swat the word and read it correctly is the winner. The other child then chooses the next challenger by handing the swatter over.
The reigning champion is challenged until another child out swats him/her. The rest of the class is watching and is bursting at the seams because they have already spotted the word and they can't give any clues.
The velcro on the back of the words allows me to jumble the words to vary the organisation of the words. I also change the words every term.
