1. PREPARATION: Get four levels of sight word flashcards. Each level should be on a different piece of colored paper (for example: level 1- blue cards, level 2- green cards, etc). Each color/level also represents a type of hit in the game. Make sure you make a poster that includes that information that is clear for the players to see.
2. Mark the four following spots in the room: 1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base, and homeplate.
2. TO PLAY: Divide students into two different teams. Let them choose a team name.
3. One team is home and the other are visitors. Mix up the flashcards.
4. One student draws a flashcard and goes to homeplate. Make sure to match the color with the kind of hit they are trying for.
5. If the student reads the flashcard correctly, they play according to the kind of hit on the card. (A single- move 1 base, a double- move 2 bases, a triple- move 3 bases, and a homerun- go homeplate). Be sure to have strike out cards in with the sight word flashcards.
6. If the student can't read the sight word, it is an out.
7. Once a team gets 3 outs, the other team gets a turn to "bat".
8. Play to whatever score you wish.
May the best team win!
