Sight Word Highway (freebie)

Yet another word work idea from Mrs. Morrow's that I tweaked. 

Print and laminate some highway letters.  I got mine from here.  I actually printed mine two per page so I would have double of some of the letters.  Have the students build a sight word and then drive their car over the sight word highway they built.  After driving, they record their words on this sheet; although you could skip this step.

Have you had enough yet?  : )



Link a Sentence (freebie)

Here is another activity similar to the last one from Mrs. Morrow. 

Print and laminate the word cards on cardstock.

Have the students build sentences using the words and linking them together with plastic links.

I am also going to leave some blank cards and a dry erase marker so if they need to write a different word they can.

Link a Word (freebie)

Here is another activity from Mrs. Morrow. 

Print and laminate the letter cards on cardstock.  I printed two sets so there will double letters if needed.

Have the students pick a word from the word wall and build the word by linking the letters together with plastic links.  Then they record their word on the recording sheet.



Popcorn Word Bottles (freebie)

Another activity that Mrs. Morrow sent to me.  I found some different clipart and inserted my words. 

To make them, I copied these popcorn words and laminated them.  I would recommend putting the words on both sides of the picture because it can be difficult to get it turned just right to see the words.  I put them into water bottles filled with corn kernels.  I wrote the number on the lid of the bottle and superglued them shut.

**UPDATE - I actually found that the "Naked" juice bottles are awesome for this (and incredibly yummy).  I also switched to popped popcorn to make it be less noisy when they shake the bottles.

The students color in each word as they find it in the bottle and record them on the lines.

As always, let me know if you would like the publisher version.



Sight Word Hangman (freebie)

Mrs. Morrow posted some great popcorn word ideas on her blog.  She was nice enough to email me some of the templates and allow me to tweak them and share them with you.  So here is the first of hopefully many popcorn word activities.

I attached this to a file folder and laminated it for durability.  I am having my students use dry erase markers to trace over the body part on the person, cross out letters used, draw lines for the number of letters, and write the letters in the word.  They are going to use any of the words on the word wall.



More Writing Paper Versions (freebie)

Here are some with just plain lines rather than handwriting lines.



More Sentence Builders (freebie)

These are the sentences my kids came up with during reading groups for the stories we are reading.  I figured I'd share them in case anyone else can use them for general sentence practice.
