How to Play:

The game commences with all cards face down, and players take turns flipping over two cards. When a pair of cards display the same word, the players must write it on their recording sheet and retain the cards. If the cards don't match, they are turned face down again. The player with the most cards when all cards have been collected wins!

Ideas to Play:

• Engage in Memory Games with High-Frequency Words each week for varied and dynamic language practice.
• Reinforce word retention by combining different weeks of the same module, culminating in a comprehensive understanding of the sight words.
• These versatile cards offer boundless opportunities for interactive learning experiences. For example, you can print the cards of multiple weeks or even modules once for each table or group of students, with all cards face-up. Challenge them to identify the words you announce before other groups do. The first group to find the word keeps the card, writes it on the recording sheet, and emerges as the winner with the most cards at the end!
• Encourage active learning by allowing students to pick a card, write the word, and choose another card. This repetition strengthens word recognition and writing skills.
• Foster cooperative learning by pairing students. One student can pick a card and dictate the word to their partner, who will write it down. A collaborative approach through rote practice!
• For an added challenge, have one student in a pair pronounce the sounds of each letter in the word while their partner writes it down.

Share your innovative ideas with us in your review. We value your input!

1. Printing Front and Back:

•Start by printing the front side of the cards.

•After printing the fronts, reload the printed sheets into the printer.

•Print the back design on the other side of the sheets.

2. Paper Choice:

•For added sturdiness, it's recommended to use thicker paper.

3. Lamination:

•Consider laminating the cards for increased durability.

4. Page Numbers:

•Module 7 front cards are on pages 8 to 11.

•Page 12 is designated for the back of the cards.

•Page 13 is designated for the recording sheets to write down the pairs of words you create during the game.

5. Cutting Guidelines:

•Use the cutting guides on the back of the sheets to cut the cards with corners.

•Alternatively, you can cut them without corners, following the border of the images.

•Cutting without corners (rounded corners) takes more time but may result in longer-lasting cards.

Unleash the joy of learning with our HMH Sight Words Memory Game for Kinder! Happy learning!
