I wanted to share a quick post about one of my all-time favorite game to play with kids - POP for Sight Words! I have used these games to work with students in my classrooms in grades 1, 2, and 3. I have used these games to break up the boredom during tutoring sessions with students in grades K-5. I have used these games with my own children to reinforce their knowledge of sight words in early grades! Kids *love* to play games and don't even realize they are actively working on their reading and building academic knowledge! Another reason I love these games is that you can use them with small groups of students, one-on-one, and whole group. Each year I play this a couple times whole group to teach the students my expectations of the game. We model how to play correctly, what not to do, and how to play correctly again. The recommended number of players is 2-4, but I truly believe if you keep it moving, you can successfully play with a larger group! This whole-group modeling lays the foundation for students to use this as an activity for Word Work when doing Daily 5.
