Looking for literacy games
By ggteach

Clip to ScrapBook   
I want some ideas on literacy games that I can make myself. This is my first year teaching first grade, I taught Kinder for 2 years. What I have so far, not much

Sight word games:
Parking lot (Making a parking
lot on poster board write sight words in each space, kids roll a die they must move a toy car to that spot if they can read the word they can park their car if not they have to go back)

Rotten Bananas (Cut out bananas both yellow and a few brown, write sight words on the yellow ones and put them in a tissue box with 2 or three brown ones. Pass the box around have kids pull
a banana out and read the word, if they know the word they keep the banana if not they put it back. When someone pulls out a brown banana stop the game and have everyone count the bananas the one with the most wins.)

Tic-Tac-Toe (Make a large tic-tac-toe grid on poster board and write words in each space. Cut out some x's and o's, if a student can read the word in the space they can place their x or o there.

Crash (same as rotten banana but it's with cars)

Dial-Up

Swat the fly (Write sight words on flies. You call a word out and the one who swats the fly with that word first gets to keep it)
