Horse: Idea #255

Want to play more outside sight word games with your students? Try playing the game Horse with a sight word twist. This is what you do:

1. Choose one sight word that you would like your students to practice. For example: like.

2. Line up your students.

3. Player 1 attempts to make a basket. If Player 1 makes it, Player 2 must make the same basket, at the exact same spot. If Player 2 makes the basket, then Player 3 and the rest of the players attempt to make the basket as well. 

4. If Player 2 does not make the basket, Player 3 gets to be the "leader". 

5. Every time a player misses a shot, they add a letter to their score. The first person to get all the letters in the sight word (l-i-k-e) looses the game.

6. The last person still in the game wins!

Have fun playing in the sun!
