Kindergarten Activities

Help your Kindergarten student grow his knowledge of sight words by the following activities:

Online Spelling: Practice our kindergarten spelling lists by importing them into your account. They contain many sight words that will help your student become more familiar with these common words.

Target Practice: Go to the library and get books with common sight words. Get stickers from an office supply store that are designed to be taken off (the stickers that are used to mark signature locations). Then work with your child to put arrows in the book on common sight words. This is a fun activity that helps with word recognition.

Memory Game: Get some index cards and write down some sight words in pairs. Then put them on the floor face down and flip two cards over at a time until you find matches. This game helps with word recognition and it’s something you can do as a family too!

Rhyme Game: Take a common ending like “un” and add consonants to the beginning. First, create a flash card deck of letters a-z using index cards. Then on another card write endings like “un” or “oat” etc. Then start trying consonants in front of them. Help your child read the words as needed. As you find real words, keep score of how many your student found.

At the beginning of the week, you might sit down and have a team meeting about what you hope to accomplish this week with your student. This will help your child be a part of the learning process and learn planning and organizational skills as well as goal setting.

Special Note: It is helpful for your Kindergarten student to feel a sense of accomplishment. All of your activities should involve praise and parent / caregiver involvement. Some kids really like to have a sticker board on the refrigerator or somewhere in a public place where they can show how well they’ve done. Create a grid with game names, books read, practice times and award gold stars for your child to place on the board.

    "Best"

    The teacher divides the class into several teams with the same number of participants. If the study room is small, then it is best to divide the students into two groups, the participants of which are built in columns one at a time. The teacher acts as a leader. At the command "Start!" the host begins to dictate words on the topic covered. The task of the students is to run up to the blackboard with chalk in their hands and write the named word. And so on the relay. The team that completes the fastest and makes the fewest spelling mistakes wins. nine0003

    “The letters fell apart”

    The game can be played both in teams and in the form of individual competitions. For this spelling game, the teacher has to prepare flashcards with letters that will be assembled into words. Each team is given the same number of words. On the command "Start", the players collect words from letters and translate them. The team that can do it faster and correctly translate the words wins.

    Example:

    • ontaunim → watch , water , wave and so on.

      "Word formation"

      The game can be played both in the form of individual competitions and in teams. The teacher writes a long word on the board and asks the students to make words from its letters in a certain amount of time. The player with the most words wins.

      "Add consonants"

      The game can be played both as a team competition and as an individual competition. The teacher writes vowels or a combination of them on the board. The task of the players is to add consonants and get the maximum number of possible words. The team that finds all the variations of the words and also translates them wins. nine0003

      words containing "EA" - tea, area, beat, east, easy, head, real, clean, cream, earth, scream and so on.

      The leader distributes word cards to the players. From them, students must make new words, changing only the order of the letters in them. The students write the resulting variations on the board along with their translation.

      Example:

      • thing - night (Night),
      • Late (Late) - Tale (Story),
      • DOG (DOG) - God (God),

When the teacher pronounces any word, the students with the corresponding letters from it run to the blackboard and make up this word. The team that made it first gets the number of points according to the number of letters in the word.

      Honeycombs

      Players are divided into two or three teams. Depending on the number of teams on the board, the same long word is written two or three times. The participants of each team one by one run up to the board and write down one word vertically, which begins with a letter from the given word. For each correctly spelled word, the team receives one point. An additional three points are awarded to the team that completed the task first. nine0712 C I E K L R T P A B P T E M C E A T I I G R L E E 90EARE 90EARE 90EARE 90EARD0712 O T I A E R     E   E   N A N R   A A L E Y 9ATH0712 m L 9023 "Four The teacher writes a four-letter word on the board.
