Sight Words Snakes & Ladders is a twist on the classic Chutes & Ladders board game, incorporating some reading into the game play. The game gives children many opportunities for sight words repetition, while the board game format keeps it fun and engaging.

Sight Words Snakes & Ladders

This game works best with children that are already familiar with the Snakes & Ladders game. Trying to learn both the game and the words at the same time can be too much, particularly for younger children.

The game is most fun when played in a small group of 2-4 players, but a child can also play the game by himself.

The game requires just a few basic items: a game board, game pieces, and a die.

Snakes & Ladders Board
Printer
Cardstock paper (approximately 110 lb / 200 gsm)
Scissors
Tape
Game Pieces (checkers, coins, blocks, etc.)
Die

To make the Snakes & Ladders board, print out a Snakes & Ladders board and print it on four sheets of cardstock paper. Trim the edges off the four sheets and tape them together with clear tape. Using tape allows the board to be folded for easy storage in your sight words file when not in use.

↑ Top

Play the game as you would regularly play Snakes & Ladders. But when the player moves their game piece to a new spot, they must read each word along their path in order to progress. If they are unable to read one of the words, then they stop on that word until their next turn.

The player(s) begin by placing their game pieces on the START square. The first player rolls the die and moves forward that number of spaces. On each space the player needs to say the word written on the space in order to keep moving. If they don’t know a word or can’t say the word in less than 10 seconds, then their turn stops and we do a quick correction to help them learn the word.

If a player rolls a number that lands them at the bottom of a ladder and they get the word correct, they may “climb” to the square at the top of the ladder. If a player rolls a number that lands them on the head of a snake, then they “slide” down to the square at the snake’s tail.

The game finishes when all the players get to the FINISH square, with the first player to the end being declared the winner. You do not have to roll an exact number to finish the game.

You can create your own custom Snakes & Ladders board, or use one of our pre-made boards. As you notice the students start to learn the old board, print out a new board that changes the order of the words to keep them from memorizing the positions of words.

Questions and Answers

Sight Words Go Fish is a vocabulary-themed variation of the classic Go Fish card game, for 2-4 players. Introducing this game is easiest when the children already have experience playing the traditional Go Fish game, because they will already understand the game dynamics and can focus their attention on the reading aspect. This is of particular importance for younger children, who can get overwhelmed with having to learn a new game and new words at the same time.

The goal is to collect more pairs of matching cards than anyone else. Children must read the sight word on the card they wish to play and be able to read the words that are requested by other players. It is another fun way to give children extensive exposure to a variety of sight words.

↑ Top

For Sight Words Go Fish, you will make and use a set of cards with various word pairs. The number of pairs depends on how many words you select when creating the cards. You can also remove some pairs from your deck of cards to make it a more manageable size.

Use our Go Fish Card Generator to create a set of cards and print them out, preferably on heavy-duty cardstock paper. You will want to use a mix of newer words that the children have not yet mastered and familiar words that could use some review.

↑ Top

These instructions are for a game with 3-4 players. Sight Words Go Fish can also be played easily with just two players.

Video: How to Play Sight Words Go Fish

Deal 5 cards to each player (7 cards each if there are only 2 players), then place the remaining cards face down in the middle of the circle formed by the players. All the players look at their cards but do not reveal them to each other.

Player A takes the first turn. Player A selects one of her cards and reads the word on it out loud, moving her index finger from left to right underneath the letters as she reads. (An adult should demonstrate this reading technique at the start of the game to teach or remind children how best to read the word.)

Player A then selects another player and asks him, “Player C, do you have any cards with the word BEFORE?” If Player C has a card with that word, he must say “Yes, I have a card with the word BEFORE,” and hand it to Player A, who then gets another turn. If any player struggles with reading or pronouncing a word, take a moment to go through the sight words correction to reinforce the correct pronunciation.

If Player C does not have any of the requested card, he shouts, “Go Fish!” Player A must then draw a card from the stack. If the drawn card has the word she was looking for, she shows the card and gets to take another turn. Otherwise, her turn ends, and the child who said “Go Fish” gets the next turn.

If a player collects both cards of a particular word pair, he puts them in a face-up stack in front of him. The game continues until someone has no cards left or the face-down stack runs out. The winner is the player with the most pairs of matching cards.

↑ Top

To make the game a little easier, especially for a younger child, simply use fewer pairs of cards.

↑ Top

Observe the game, whether it’s watching your own child in your 2-player game or observing a group of students in a 4-player game. Make note of which words the children have mastered, and which ones are still a bit of a struggle. Be on the lookout for individual children who are struggling with several of the words.

A child is considered to have mastered the sight words in this activity when she can consistently recognize and read all the word cards in her hand, with confidence and without any noticeable hesitation.

TOP of the best board games for companies and parties

We all love parties, fun companies, family holidays. But if you are the owner of this fun, you need to take care of many things. And this is not only snacks, drinks, an abundance of goodies on the table. A very important point is the entertainment of guests. So that they do not get bored, you can use many different tricks. One of the most effective is to offer to play board games. Thankfully, there are quite a few of these. One of the huge categories is the best board games for an adult company. They will defuse the situation, help those who do not yet know each other to get to know each other, and even contribute to the manifestation of hidden talents!

How to choose the right game?

What should you pay attention to when trying to find the best board games for your company? There are several criteria. And the first of them is the time of the party. If you have gathered for a fun pastime and not only games are planned, but also emotional gatherings, a feast, a board game will become only part of the entertainment “menu”, so you should not take too much time playing the game. But it happens that guests gather precisely for the purpose of playing. In this case, you should pay attention to long games with an intricate and perhaps even complex plot.

The second, no less important, selection criterion is the rules. Again, it depends on which company is going to play. If you need simple entertainment to pass the time and not get bored, choose a fun game with simple, uncomplicated rules. For fans of board games, you need to pick up something more complex and confusing.

And, of course, we must not lose sight of the peculiarities of the company that will meet. So, if it will be mostly young people, you can pick up something with a "pepper". If relatives gather, and even with children, this option automatically disappears. In general, the rhythm of the game should match the format of the evening.

The most popular game categories

Dynamic. Especially suitable if the party is attended by young people who cannot sit in one place for a long time and they constantly need movement. In this case, active games, such as the well-known Twister, will save!
Psychological. Such board games will be an interesting and exciting continuation of the evening. You can play them with friends, family, colleagues - any, even the most motley, company will do. A great example of a game with a detective storyline is Mafia.
