* classroom sight word games *

Bang! Students take turns drawing out the sight wordcards from the can and try to read them. If they can read the word they get to keep the card. If they can't the partner tries reading it, and if he reads it correctly  he gets to keep the card. If neither students can read the word, it goes in a  "don't know it yet" pile on the floor. When a Bang! card is pulled out  of the can the student who drew it has to return all  their cards into the can. The Bang! card is placed in a  seperate pile on the floor. The game is played until all the cards are drawn, and the student with the most cards, wins. Octopus Shoes Roll a di. Read that many sight words.  Count how many you readcorrectly. Cover up that many octopus legs. The first person to put 8 shoes on the octopus wins.   *  Another idea is to place stickers on a sheet on paper and have students cover the stickers.  First person to cover all of the stickers wins.
