I have one for you!
"Swat that Sight Word"
All you need is a fly swatter, plastic bugs-- although, not necessary, and sight word cards.
I laid out several sight words around our play/school room and put a bug on each one (you don't need the bugs, though).
Next I called out the sight words and Tyler had to find it and "Swat the Word." Simple and fun!
Tyler and I took turns being the swatter, so he also called out the words to me.

Cute! My kids love fly swatters! We just did some painting with them - maybe I'll have to try this with letters!
ReplyDeleteYes! I saw that post and thought it was such a creative and fun idea-- I'd love to try that, but we'll need a new fly-swatter first! Ours broke!
DeleteThis is so much fun. My kids would have a blast. I'm definitely going to do it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! We are going to be learning about insects in a couple weeks and my boys will be all over this!! Pinning it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh this would be a perfect activity to do during your insect themed week! Not sure how old your boys are, but it would work with your plain ol' ABC's and numbers, too!
DeleteIt looks like he had wondderful time swatting words!
ReplyDeleteYes, he loved it so much he broke the fly swatter! : )
DeleteOk ... that is just AWESOME! I can't wait to try it out with my son! He'll LOVE it.

DeleteHi! I'm dropping in from Teach Me Tuesdays:
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I'm going to remember this activity when my little ones begin sight words.
This is wonderful! My kids always want to swat the flies--giving them a clean swatter and going after sight words sounds so very fun and sanitary!! ;) I'm sharing this on my PreschoolPowolPackets Facebook page...thanks for linking up at Teach Me Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulously fun idea! Great job! Thanks so much for sharing at Mom On Timeout!
