No, this is not a spin off of that super addicting smart phone game! Today I'm sharing one of my favorite ways to practice sight words with my kindergartners, I call it:
"Sight Words With Pals"
The concept it pretty simple, students watch a PPT slide show and read the sight words out loud. They change every 3 seconds or so depending on skill level. The whole thing runs for about 2.5 minutes, so I can fit it in our schedule just about any time.
(this is just a preview)
The fun is when a sight word pal appears on screen! There are two characters/pals per slide show (Cow & Chick, Robot & T-Rex, Cowboy & Swimmer, etc). Each character has their own specific motion and/or sound that the kids do when they appear. I like to think of it as a nano-brain-break!
The best part?? All the slide shows are set to a timer after the first slide. So once I get it going I can walk around and monitor students. (Obviously by "monitor" I mean be silly and do the motions/sounds with them!)

This is #2 out of 6. Currently it includes these 9 sight words:
is, me, you, and, he, at, so, on, in
I know sight word lists vary so I made the sight words in every slide show EDITABLE!
Tip: Use CTRL+F to "find" and "replace all" of my sight words with your sight words! It'll go quicker than editing slide by slide.

I can't wait to use this next year year. Your idea is just fabulous. Thanks for making it editable & the control +f tip.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome! I hope your students loved them as much as mine did this past year. Have fun :)
