Sight Word Hop Scotch


Source:  http://www.momto2poshlildivas.com/2012/03/learning-through-play-sight-word.html

This is such an easy & fun way to practice sight words.

What You Need:
chalk (multiple colors work best) for outdoor play
or use colored tape & bring the fun indoors
rock or bean bag

What To Do:
1. Using chalk make a hopscotch board.
2. In each square write target sight words, spelling words, letters, etc...
3. Child should throw rock onto hopscotch board. 
Whichever word the rock lands in is the word to be read.
4. Repeat until all words have been read at least once.

Different Ways to Play
We play this a few different ways aside from the basic way listed above.
 Some rounds she reads every word she hops on or
uses the word in a sentence (this is especially useful for homophones)
Other times, she tries to spell the target word after reading it.
Sometimes, we sing-spell the word she lands on to the tune of B-I-N-G-O.
