Sight Word Jenga: Idea #129

Try playing the game Jenga with your student to practice sight words. Here is what you do:

1. Buy the game Jenga (or any block stacking game).

 
2. Write a sight word on each of the blocks (there are 54 blocks). You can write the words with permanent marker. I wrote them on scotch tape so I could peel the words off when we finished.

 3. Stack up the blocks. 

4. Student pulls out one of the blocks, trying hard not to knock the stack over. Student must read the word on the block they chose.

5. Once they have read the word, student must put the block at the top of the stack without making it fall.

6. Once the stack falls over, play again! Your student will enjoy this very educational game!
