Sight Word Games
Bang
This year my kids loved playing "Bang". Someone posted it on the ring last year. I had 5 small coffee cans, which I covered with paper and labelled "Bang". Inside were cards with Dolch words and 4 cards that each had "Bang" written on them. I divided my 27 kids up into these 5 groups. Each group sat around the can. I have them decide how they should sit by having them be in alphabetical order. The first person draws a card and says the word. If he knows the word, he keeps it. Play goes on. If someone draws a "Bang" card, he has to put all his cards back. One student said, "This is the funnest game I've ever played". I also changed the cards later in the year to "Math Facts".
