Exciting Memory Game to Enhance First-Grade Students' Learning of HMH Sight Words!

Try the first 3 weeks of this incredible resource and unlock the full set by clicking on the following link for only $8.50!

Memory Game HMH High-Frequency and Decodable Words

The set consists of 36 unique decks, one for each week, providing a comprehensive learning experience. Students will practice 8 High-Frequency Words and up to 6 Decodable Words per week with every deck, resulting in exposure to more than 400 words!

How to Play:

The game starts with all the cards face down, and players take turns flipping over two cards. If the two cards reveal the same word, they must write it on their recording sheet and keep the cards. If the words don't match, they turn the cards face down again. The winner is the player with the most cards when all cards have been taken. If some students find the game challenging, they can opt to play with the cards face-up for added support.

Ideas to Play:

- Engage in Memory Game sessions with High-Frequency Words, Decodable Words, or both simultaneously each week for a varied and dynamic learning experience.

- Integrate different weeks of the same module to reinforce word retention at the end of a unit, ensuring lasting mastery of the sight words.

- Utilize the versatile cards for an array of engaging games. For instance, print the cards of several weeks or even modules once for each table or group of students, all face-up. Challenge them to find the words you announce before other groups do. The first group to find the word keeps the card and records it. The group with the most cards at the end emerges victorious!

- Foster active learning by allowing students to pick a card from a deck, write the word, and then select another card. This repetition reinforces word recognition and writing skills.

- Encourage cooperative learning by pairing students. One student can pick a card and dictate the word to their partner, who will write it down. Learning together through rote practice!

- For an additional challenge, have one student in a pair pronounce the sounds of each letter in the word while their partner writes it down.

If you have more innovative ideas, feel free to share them with us in your review.

How to Print:

To print the cards, first print the front of the cards. After that, reload the printed sheets into the printer and print the back design. For sturdiness, use thicker paper, and consider laminating them for enhanced durability.

Pages 1 to 10 are the front of the cards, while pages 11 and 12 are the back. You can try both designs to see which one aligns better with your printer. Additionally, page 13 provides 4 recording sheets to write down the pairs of words you create during the game.

Prepare for an enjoyable and effective learning journey with our engaging Memory Game for HMH Sight Words. Happy learning!

I love using this to support my early writers! I have laminated all of mine or you can simply put it in a sheet protector! Providing the letters on the page helps to differentiate it for students that need the support. This will help your students make sure they have all their sounds in their words!

These are perfect for small-group instruction or centers! Slide them in sheet protectors or laminate and you can reuse them! You can print these cards double-sided (on the short side) so that students can self-correct!

This creates meaning for words that follow the phonics pattern they are learning. This is important in helping the child turn these words into sight words!

*Check out my bundle to get all the VCe long vowels!

Use it for small groups, early finisher activities, or centers! My kids always beg to play this game!

This freebie includes the first set which has the first 13 words on the Zeno word list. I teach the 107 Sight Words because they are the most narrowed-down list of the most commonly used words in texts. It is important your child can read these words quickly and accurately for success in reading! 

Included:

• Go Fish Rules
• Set 1; first 13 sight words on the Zeno Word List
• Total of 52 cards
• Endless amounts of fun!

*Prep time is needed. I suggest you print these on card stock and laminate them for more durability. Printing on normal paper will work too! Print the set of cards and cut them out!

For all 107 words buy the bundle!
