Sight Word Workouts

My littles are rocking and rolling with their sight words! One of the really fun practice games we play is "sight word workouts." This super simple game takes little to no prep and it's a way to keep active littles focused! It is perfect for when you have an extra 5-10 minutes or need an active transition!


During this game, I call on a student to find a particular word. If they successfully find the word, they give the rest of the class an exercise to do while we spell the word (they also get to tell us how many times we have to spell the word).  Last year we just counted while we did the workout - I added the spelling this year as I have several kinesthetic learners who struggle with recall. They have improved on their sight word recognition since I introduced the
It is such a great way to keep them moving, especially after our morning meeting when they seem to be at their wiggliest.

I usually participate in the workouts with the children, which is why I don't have my usual load of pictures (and as a bonus, I don't have to feel guilty for skipping the gym after a long day)

My littles ask for this game and I'm sure yours will love it too!
