Choose twenty sight words that youd like your kindergarteners to become fluent with.
Write the words down on ice cream sticks.
On the remaining sticks, put a picture of a book, a dancing kid and a surprised face.
Put all the sticks together inside the container.
Have the students sit in a circle and pass the container around.
Each kid draws a stick and calls out the word written on it.
If the word is correct, the stick is put in the center of the circle. If the kid does not get
the word right, the stick goes back into the container.
8. The kid who pulls out the book must take a second stick and form a sentence using
the word.
9. When someone pulls out a dancing kid, the entire group stands up and does a
one-minute dance.
10. When someone pulls out a surprised face, everyone yells Busted! and puts all the sticks
back into the container.
11. Continue playing until you feel your students have had enough reading practice.
