More STAR Word Ideas!

Dear Families,

I just ran across a blog that had a bunch more ideas for sight word (Star word) practice at home! I thought they looked like fun and wanted to share with you in case you might be practicing our STAR words over the long winter holiday!?!  They are from a blog called "Mom to 2 Posh Lil Divas." 

Here you go...

10 Fun Ways to Practice Sight Words

Let the fun begin .............

1. Play Sight Word Twister

This has to be the most fun we had reviewing sight words!

Kids will be begging you to practice sight words this way.

2.  Use Sight Word Discovery Bottles

These are basically like playing "I Spy" in a bottle with sight words.

What's not to love?

3. Sight Word Craft Stick Puzzles

So simple and fun. Just use craft sticks to spell out words

& put them together like puzzles.

4. Sight Word Island Jumping

What kid doesn't enjoy jumping on the furniture?

Let them jump on pillows and cushions &

practice their sight words at the same time.

5. Shaving Cream Writing

Tactile & fun! 

Practice spelling sight words in shaving cream.

6. Slap It! Sight Word Game

This one can be played so many ways

but our fave way was definitely using fly swatters

to slap the sight words! FUN!

7. Catch the Sight Word

Use balloons, beach balls or other inflatables

to play Catch the Sight Word.

8.  Playdough & Wikki Stix Sight Words

Another fun way to practice spelling sight words 

is to use play dough, wikki stix, pipe cleaners, pebbles

or any other fun materials you have on hand.

9.  Magnetic Writing Sight Words

Magnetic letters on a magnetic board = FUN!

Go ahead and practice those sight words on it too.

10.  Rotten Apple Sight Word Game
