Rock, Paper, Scissors: Idea #198

Have you ever played Rock, Paper, Scissors? It is so fun for kids. Especially if the person who looses has to do something for the other player! I found a version of Rock, Paper, Scissors online where your student is able to practice reading phrases. This is how you play it:

1. Type in the following website: http://www.mrsperkins.com/

2. Scroll down and click on Dolch Worksheets.

3. To the right you will see a Random Dolch Phrase List. You can either use the one they have included, or change the phrases to ones you would like your student to master. Once you are pleased with the list, click Use These Words.

4. Scroll down to the Rock, Paper, Scissors game and click Go. A worksheet will come up. Go ahead and print it off.

5. The directions are at the top of the paper. If you have forgotten how to play Rock, Paper, Scissors click here. Make sure you have one counter for yourself and one for your student. Then you are ready to play.

6. When you win Rock, Paper, Scissors you get to move ahead one space on the board and read the phrase you land on. The player who makes it to the end first wins the game.

This game is a great way to see your student's reading progress. Have fun playing!
