This super sight word game is a great way to get your little super heroes excited about reading! Game cards include pre-primer, primer, first grade, and second grade Dolch sight words, each marked for easy differentiation based on level. Download, print, laminate, and cut the cards and spinner. Students will spin and land on a number (one or two to practice as many words as possible). Some spaces say "draw 2." That means the student will draw and read two cards. On "action" spaces, you get to choose what the student can do. Use these spaces as an extra turn, lose a turn, or a battle! In a battle, each student can choose a card and attempt to read it. Any card read is kept; cards read incorrectly will return to the pile. Clip art in the game is from Krista Wallden with Creative Clips.

Differentiated "Guess Who Game" for Sight Words

Dolch Sight Words for pre-primer, primer, first grade, second grade, and third grade

Note: All sight words for each level are included, but the entire set will not fit in each game board as the boards only hold 24 cards. Before game play, decide which cards you want your students to use and make sure the cards in both boards and the word card piles match.

Guess Who Sight Word Edition and Guess Who Vowel Pairs Edition

Grab some red and white checked table clothes, play some Italian music, and grab these activities for a super simple, super FUN Italian restaurant themed classroom transformation.

Hangman Game for Halloween with 20 words to practice spelling, reading, and vocabulary, and have fun at the same time! Ideal for both distance and in-person learning.

Players must guess the letters of the mysterious word one by one. Each time a player suggests a letter, click on it to check if it appears in the word. If it does, all occurrences of that letter in the word will be revealed.

Every time a player guesses a letter incorrectly, a part of the hangman is drawn (the head, body, arms, and legs).

The game ends when the players correctly guess the mysterious word before the hangman drawing is completed or when the entire hangman drawing is completed (indicating that all attempts have been exhausted).

The 20 words to be guessed are as follows:

- Halloween

- Vampire

- Pumpkin

- Trick or treat

- Costume

- Nightmare

- Spooky

- Scary

- Death

- Zombie

- Broomstick

- Phantasm

- Mysterious

- Tombstone

- Superhero

- Haunted house

- Scarecrow

- Graveyard

- Fantasy

- October

I use this game with the whole class as a cooperative learning activity, but you can have them compete in teams or even make a copy for each of your students so they can use it individually on their own devices, or even as a center.

Have fun and learn with this entertaining Halloween resource!

I included two bitmojis of my face, but you can change them to your own bitmoji.

No olvides que este juego de mesa se juega con el modo presentación de PowerPoint.

¿Quién no ama los clásicos juegos de mesa? Esta es una adaptación navideña de uno de ellos. Tira los dados y mueve tu ficha. Intenta ser el primero en llegar exactamente a la casilla 36 y no caer en las bombas ya que te harán retroceder. Si aterrizas al comienzo de las flechas avanzarás muchas casillas. Si aterrizas en el primer sombrero, te llevará al segundo sombrero, pero si aterrizas en el segundo, te llevará de regreso al primero. No es necesario saberse las reglas pues al caer en una de estas casillas se activará automáticamente la animación que mueva tu ficha al lugar que le corresponda.

Pueden jugar de 1 a 4 jugadores o grupos de jugadores. Mi consejo es dividir la clase en 2, 3 o 4 grupos. Después de cada movimiento de la ficha, trata de responde uno de los 94 acertijos que aparecerán aleatoriamente al hacer clic en las cartas de preguntas. Cada grupo dará su respuesta por consenso y el grupo que la acierte, o que más se acerque a su respuesta correcta, será el que continúe el juego tirando los dados nuevamente. Si el acertijo es demasiado difícil para el nivel de su grupo, vuelva a hacer clic en las tarjetas de preguntas y saldrá una nueva.

Los acertijos son editables y, por lo tanto, se pueden cambiar con preguntas de las lecciones que se está dando, pero no elimine los cuadros de texto si no desea eliminar sus animaciones.

Los acertijos para niños pueden:

Mejora la comprensión lectora.

Les ayuda a concentrarse y prestar más atención.

Impulsa la resolución de problemas y el pensamiento crítico.

Fortalece las habilidades y conciencia lingüística.

Promueve el pensamiento analítico y el razonamiento deductivo.

Los acertijos también pueden mejorar el estado de ánimo de tus estudiantes, hacerlos reír y darles una sensación de logro.
