Sight Word Telephone: Idea #337

Do you remember playing the game Telephone as a kid? For me, it was a usual recess activity. Why not try putting a sight word twist to it? Here is what you do:

1. You will need sight word flash cards for this game.

2. Put your students in a line.

3. Have the first student in line pick a sight word flash card, read it to himself, and then whisper it to the next student in line.

4. The next student then whispers what they hear to the next person in line, and so on.

5. Once the word has gotten to the end of the line, the student says the sight word outloud. Then the first student says if it is the correct sight word or not. Usually it will two different words! 

6. When the round is completed and everyone is done laughing, choose another student to have a turn being first and drawing a sight word.

Have fun!
