 * Snowball Fight-Write words on paper and crumple them up into balls. Give each student one or two snowballs to throw. Students will then open the snowballs closest to them and read the words.
 * Catch a BIG one-Students fish for sight words. Tie a magnet on to the end of a string and attach paper clips to fish with words written on them.
 * Bean Bag Toss-Throw bean bags on to flash cards and students read what is on the card.
 * Star light Star bright- Use flashlights to shine light on specific words while reciting this rhyme: "Flashlight, flashlight, oh so bright.Shine on a word with all your light!"

=__ Sight Word/Word Wall __ =


 * Name Word Wall -** Make a Name Word Wall put into a pocket chart so students can pull the name and take it to use in writing.


 * Heart words -** "Heart" words are put on heart shapes because they are high frequency words that you "learn by heart."


 * Tee-shirt words** - Put sight words on the back on field trip tee shirts. Students will always see these words and want to read them off of each other.


 * Good-by Words** - [|Good-by words] is a specific technique for introducing high-frequency words and then moving them to the word wall.
