Sight Word Checkers

I saw Sight Word Jenga on Mrs. McHaffie's Beg, Borrow, Steal blog and just had to share Sight Word Checkers. This may be old and everyone may know about it, but just in case...

I bought six "Checkers" games at the dollar store. A parent volunteer printed a list of sight words I had given her on stickers cut to fit the checkerboard squares. She stuck the stickers facing toward the inside of the board on each side. When a player moves a checker, s/he must first read the word on the space where they plan to put their checker. When I get back to school, I'll pull out a board or two and add pictures. My students enjoy playing checkers while practicing their sight words!

I love the idea of Sight Word Jenga, too. I can't wait to try it! Thanks, Mrs. McHaffie!
