I’d like to express my love. For sight words. Seriously, over the years I’ve developed a deep and true LOVE for those high frequency words most people don’t bat an eye at! And this first grade sight words digital I Spy activity is a fantastic way to practice those ever-important words!
Teachers know and understand the value of using fun sight word activities to help budding readers gain confidence and skill. And I think 1st Grade is quite possibly PRIME TIME for opening our hearts and minds to the sight words lists.
Why now? Well, a large chunk of kindergarten was spent learning letter sounds and names while developing important phonemic and phonological awareness.
Now that the foundation has been built, first graders are ready to start building those walls! How? With engaging, fun, interactive, meaningful sight word practice of course!
First Grade Sight Words Digital I Spy Activity fits the bill perfectly! It provides an easy, no-prep way for children to learn and practice the First Grade Dolch sight word list all year.
This activity is designed with busy teachers in mind! Just open in Google Slides or Seesaw and you’re ready to fall in LOVE with sight words!
Each slide contains opportunities for young readers to read the sight word, spell the word, and recognize the words within a grid. They’ll also hone computer skills and fine motor muscles by clicking and dragging throughout the online activity.
First Grade Sight Words
Sight words are nothing more than commonly used words in written text. They are also called high frequency words.
When searching for information about sight words, you’ll likely come across two names: Fry and Dolch. Although the lists are similar and do contain some duplicates, primary teachers typically focus on the Dolch list of words.
The 1st grade sight words Dolch list is based on words that students in Pre-K through 2nd grade would typically encounter, while the Fry list is a bit more extensive and covers high frequency words found in reading material for Grades 3 through 9.
This activity includes the 1st Grade Dolch list of 41 words:

Sight Word Games for First Grade
Teaching sight words really allows teachers to get creative! There are sight words games online, and there are plenty of hands-on activities that activate all types of learners.
- Use index cards to create word cards that can be used a million different ways (flash cards, hide-n-seek cards, memory match, to name a few).
- Employ the senses by writing the sight words using play dough, pudding, paint, small objects, anything!
- Create routines around sight words, like “Sight Word Spotlight” where you ‘celebrate’ one word a week. Each day complete a different activity and keep adding to the list as the school year progresses.
- Create as many opportunities as possible for children to read the words, write the words, spell the words, until they KNOW the words with automaticity.
- Get moving by incorporating movements and/or gestures as you spell, chant, or sing the words.

10 Roll & Color Sight Word Worksheets To Make Sight Words Fun!
I’ve learned a lot about sight words this school year. Suddenly homeschooling my kindergartener and now 1st grader, I’ve realized how important sight words are to learning to read and write with ease.
After trying quite a few sight words games and worksheets, I stumbled on this pack of sight word worksheets that used a roll and color approach. Waddya know – my kiddo loved it. Suddenly, we were having a ball rolling and coloring sight words instead of enduring the “sight word struggle” – as I began to affectionately call it.
You know, it’s hard to tell what is going to click and make something go from “ugh” to “awesome” and for us – it was roll and color sight word worksheets! Hurrah!
But, I quickly worked through all the ones I could find online.
I wasn’t going to throw in the towel just yet. I’d developed far more complicated curricula during my years as an 8th grade teacher. So, I cracked my fingers and got to work, creating some super fun, silly roll and color sight word printables.
Then, I thought, why keep these to myself? We can’t be the only ones who love these. Let’s share the fun.
If you’ve never used these before, they couldn’t be more simple to use. Just grab some dice, either from another game you already have, or buy a fun set of them like this. We actually use the dice from this math game, because they are extra big and great for little hands and come in fun colors. Whatever it takes to keep it interest, you know what I mean?
Then, you just roll the dice and start coloring the sight word that matches the number. We make it a game where we race each other to color them first. This adds a little extra pizzazz to the exercise, while also speeding it along – because I gotta keep this wagon train a-moving, you know what I mean?
That’s it.
You just keep rolling and coloring. No big deal. You can either do all the sight words on one roll or they can color one per roll. Just depends on how much time you have and how you want to structure it.
10 Roll & Color Sight Word Printables:
After designing 10 of these, I decided to make them into a set that could be available to print at home as many times as you want.
I’m giving one of them away for free right here. All you have to do is click on the picture to download. If you’re interested in downloading all 10, just check out my super affordable listing.
What I love about these is that you can print them over and over again, unlike a book where once you use the page – it’s a done deal.
Between the 10 pages, they cover 60 high frequency sight words. Great practice and learning ahead!
Super fun patterns make these entertaining for kids, too. Each worksheet has a different image with the sight words:
Have you tried roll and color worksheets before? Such an easy way to make a worksheet into a game.
I’d love to know what you think. I’ll be making some more soon, since we’ve used all of these a couple of times and he’s ready for the next set.
Seriously, these work. He’s recognizing these words in his readers no problemo. Once you find what works, keep doing. I never argue with results.
If you’d like to see more of these roll and color sight word worksheets, they’re in the shop here.

I see (ft.
Moscow Gospel Team) lyrics, lyrics I see children crying
I can't hear the angels sing
We come to this world at dawn
And at sunset we go into the darkness
And again the brother shoots at the brother
And brotherly blood is shed
And the war for the kingdom continues
And the living swear not to return home
We put our backs under the whip
We equally love gingerbread and whip
We are taught how and in whom to believe
But their school of faith is the school of Jude
I see children crying
I can't hear the angels sing
We come to this world at dawn
And at sunset we go into the darkness
Time is a cynical executioner, pushes in the back, hurries
Whispers don't cry, after death you will be, in any case, in good
Even if he was cursed and signed in blood
Under slander in the protocol and sentence, you know
We were born to bring light to the world
But for the sake of profit, they must lead the whole world to death
Law and order pledge our lives
God called me yesterday, it was the last call
He said, "Being God to you is a hell of a job
Being a god for greedy saints
To be God for the cornered Judas"
He said: "I'm disappointed in you, my faith is gone"
He hung up and I realized that the connection was interrupted
Accepts police wave
A command was given for it - aim at us and kill
My friend is stuck on the TV, drowning in the sofa
But this is my clone, I went to burn and destroy, judge us by cases
I hope the sun breaks through this lead dome
The light will drive out the darkness and pull us out of the gray everyday life
Fear made us hide in a corner
Turning us into scared, downtrodden and unhappy dolls
The truth is terrible, because it is in defiance of lies
Where the angels sing - do not circle the crows
I keep as a memory the pain of mental wounds
I pray, come back, faith, to our destroyed temple
I sing
I see children crying
I can't hear the angels sing
We come to this world at dawn
And at sunset we go into the darkness
And again the brother shoots at the brother
And brotherly blood is shed
And the war for the kingdom continues
And the living swear not to return home
We put our backs under the whip
We equally love gingerbread and whip
We are taught how and in whom to believe
But their school of faith is the school of Jude
I see children crying
I can't hear the angels sing
We come to this world at dawn
And at sunset we go into the darkness
Vividly the saint tells us about holiness from the pulpit
But his faith is worth nothing without the all-powerful OMON
A stoned voice from the screen broadcasts that everything is normal
And, they say, we need to be patient a little more
And so from year to year
The sun is also not visible in God's guarded realm
Rusty ship goes to the bottom
And the sad end cannot be avoided
But we were born to make a fairy tale come true
But we did not wait, because we were mixed with dirt and dust
Fear from vertebra to vertebra and we are on our knees

The Scourge of the Slave Master Through the Generations
Our hopes are an executioner like a flayer, shoot them
And we will meet our last dawn at the stake
We are blinded by the nuclear light
We hypocritically hide the filth
Under the mask of righteous anger
We hide cowardice mausoleum and spiritual bonds
Hammer of a slave in one hand
In the other, a bloody sickle
We are told that a brighter future is not far off
But I know this pioneer camp
We're on fire here
