Tic-Tac-Toe: Idea #127

Games are a great way to help your child learn their sight words. Try playing tic-tac-toe with sight words. This is what you do:

1. Choose nine words your student needs to practice. They can be sight words or any words they struggle with in their reading.

2. Make a large tic-tac-toe board on a piece of paper.

3. Write in those nine words you picked, or have your student write them in the boxes.

4. Give Student #1 a crayon and Student #2 a different colored crayon. Assign one to be an 'X' and the other 'O'.

5. When it is the student's turn, they are to read the word that is in the box they wish to draw their 'X' or 'O'. After they have read the word successfully, they can draw their 'X' or 'O' on the word. If they fail to read the word correctly, they must choose a different word to read.

6. The first player to get three in a row wins!
