Sight Word Ball: Idea #172

It's starting to get warmer, so kids are going to want to be outside in the sunshine. Most kids enjoy throwing a ball, so you may want to try playing sight word ball. I found out about this great game on the Kids Activities Blog. This is how you play it:

1. Get a beach ball and write a bunch of sight words on it with a permanent marker.

2. Throw the ball to your student. Your student must read all of the words on whatever color they catch.

OR 

When they catch the ball, call out a sight word and your student must find that word on the ball.

OR 

When your student catches the ball, have them put their nose on a word and read the word that their nose is touching.

OR

Have your student catch the ball, touch a word, read it, and then spell it to you (without looking).

This is the perfect game to play when you don't have a ton of time to practice and best of all, kids LOVE it! Have fun in the sun!
