Sight Words in Sand: Idea #177

A fun way to practice sight words with your student is to write them in sand. You can use the sand on the playground or your classroom sandbox or even craft sand. You could try writing sight words in the sand a few different ways:

#1: Teacher/Parent writes sight words in the sand (with their finger or a stick) and then the student reads the words.

#2: Teacher/Parent says a sight word and then the student writes the word in the sand with their finger or a stick.
 
#3: Teacher/Parent hides each letter (written on cardboard or something similar) in the sand and says a sight word. Then the student must find the letters that make the word.

#4: Teacher/Parent  hides sight words in the sand (written on cardboard or something similar). Teacher/Parent then says a sight word and the student must find it in the sand.

This activity is great for reading and spelling sight words. Your student will love playing in the sand!
