Are you looking for some great sight word and spelling fun? Making learning more hands-on is a wonderful way to help the learning stick. Following are a few fun ways we have practiced our sight words & spelling words lately.
Make some Spelling paper dolls! This is fun and simple to do. Find the Paper doll template here.
Spelling Twister! Put your spelling and sight words on the twister board. Play the game like normal, but you have to read the word when you put your hand or foot on it!
Lacing your spelling words on pipe cleaners. We LOVE these alphabet beads a lot!!
These great sight word color by number cards are from here.
Stamp your Spelling words. Just use a regular set of alphabet stamps. Say the word and they stamp it out. For some reason, this is just WAY more fun than writing it.
Write them in glue then glitterize them!! My daughter especially enjoyed this one!
Spell the words with alphabet crackers! You can find cookies or crackers with letters on them!
Also, check out my Spell for your Life printable game! Also see my Fishing for Words and Spelling Egg Hunt posts!
