Sight Word Duck, Duck, Goose: Idea #242

One of my favorite games to play as a kid was Duck, Duck, Goose! Most kids enjoy this game because it is active and most importantly, you get to chase someone. Try playing this game using sight words. Here are two different ways you could play it using sight words:

OPTION #1: Make some game cards that have two sight words on each card. As a 'goose' or chaser is chosen, have them draw a card. The chaser then reads the two sight words to the other game participants, using those words as he goes around. For example, if the card he drew said: go   the, he would use those words as he went around the circle. So, he would say, "go, go, the" instead of duck, duck, goose.

OPTION #2: Give each player a sight word card to tape on their back. As the chaser goes around the circle, they replace saying goose with the sight word that they see on the student the student's back. For example, if the chaser wanted to choose a student whose sight word was so, this is what the chaser would say, "Duck, duck, so!"  

Try both options and see which one works for you. What a fun way to be active and learn sight words!
