Looking for a fun way to expose your first-grader to more sight words? Here's an activity that puts a new twist on a classic game to help your child's reading skills by creating wooden word blocks and playing 'Sight Word Jenga'.
Contents
Requisites: Blank wooden rectangular blocks (Jenga), permanent marker, list of sight words and vocabulary.
Steps:
1. Use the permanent marker to write one word on each of the blank blocks. Sight words (like 'the', 'always', 'anything', and 'every') that are great to use. You can use the sight word list above, or use words and vocabulary from your child's spelling lists or favourite books.
2. Stack the blocks up into a tower.
3. Players will take turns. On each turn, a player will pull out one wooden block from the tower. If the tower does not fall, the player must then use the word written on the block and make a sentence with the word in it.
4. The objective of the game is to pull out as many word blocks as possible without knocking the tower over. The first person to make the tower fall loses that game.
Sight words can be confusing for new readers because it doesn't often sound the way they appear. But recognizing sight words is an important part of learning to read successfully.
