Differentiated "Guess Who Game" for Sight Words

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

Engage your elementary school ELA students by using this sight word game to practice reading sight words. Ideas for differentiation and prompting are included to ensure the game is suitable for students of all academic levels. This game also includes five levels of word difficulty- from pre-primer to third grade level words. The sets of cards are notated with different colored inner borders so you can easily tell them apart.

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.

This activity is perfect for elementary school reading and ELA centers, elementary school reading and ELA lesson plans, small group instruction, extra help sessions, early finishers, group/partner work, classroom competitions, individual practice, and so much more. 

What's included

• "word pile" cards for each level
• red board inserts for each level
• blue board inserts for each level
• 33 question prompts
• Directions for five different ways to play (for individual players, two players, or small group)
• Guess Who game board linked here (NOT INCLUDED IN DOWNLOAD)

This Jeopardy game is a review of ELA content in 2nd grade. The categories include phonics, parts of speech, reading/writing, and content vocab. It is completely interactive. No need to scroll through all the slides, you just click on the points for whatever category that you like and it will take you right to the question.

This would be a great product for a review at the end of the year for 2nd grade, practice during summer school, and even a pre-assessment for 3rd grade to see what you students know coming into the school year.

You will need to have a score keeper, and I would recommend splitting students up into teams of 4. I hope you enjoy this product. Please rate and review.

Special Thanks to Ready to Go Reading for providing the interactive in slide timer. Check out her store! Ready to Go Reading

This bundle includes two Jeopardy games for 2nd grade. 1 ELA and 1 Math game. For ELA, the questions are focused on phonics, reading/writing, parts of speech, and content vocabulary. For Math, the questions are focused on base 10, place value, addition, subtraction, Geometry/Measurement & Data, and Word Problems.

Both of these Jeopardy games are completely interactive, so you can click on all the points to go to the questions, and other parts to return back to the board and see the answer. You will need to have someone keep score for the games. I hope you enjoy it. Please rate and review!

This is a collection of sight word games that I created for Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade. Each game, you are catching some sort of animal with the sight words written on them.

**These activities will take some prep. Other materials you will need will be popsicle sticks, glue/tape, and scissors**

Between 1 to 4 students can play this game. To play the game, you will need to lay out the animals with the words facing up. Have students sit or stand beside each other with the nets in their hands, holding them all in the same position (so no one tries to cheat). Then call out a word. Students will race to find and catch the animals with the word on it first. Whichever student catches the animal first, they take that animal and add it to their pile. Once all the animals are caught, have students count up how many they have. Whoever has the most wins.

I hope you enjoy the product. Please rate and review.
