Erase Relay: Idea #237

It's getting close to the end of the year. I'm sure that your school has a field day, or something similar to it. Why not try an Erase Relay to practice those sight words one last time? I found the idea here. This is all you do:

1. Make two lists on your chalkboard or dry erase board of sight words. Make sure that there are at least as many words as there are students in your class.

2. Divide your class into two teams. Have each team stand in a line facing the board.

3. When you tell the students to go, the first student in each line will go up to the board, point to the word at the top of their list and read it to you.

4. If the word is read correctly, the teacher nods and the student can erase the word.

5. The student then gives the eraser to the next student in line. If the student cannot read the word, they just give the eraser to the next student in line.

6. The team that erases all of their sight words first wins!

Erasing words was never so much fun!
