We just love college basketball! Our favorite team, Michigan State University, has a pretty good chance of making it far in the March Madness tournament. Many of our little friends also enjoy this time of year so it’s fun to pull out our basketball themed activities!
Out Basketball themed bundle for sight words contains five interactive activities for learning and practicing the Dolch 220 sight words. Contained in this file are 9 file folder sight word game boards for each sight word list, 3 Climb & Slide file folder game boards, 9 Race to the Top and 4-In-A-Row game boards and the Swish! Sight Word activity. So much to keep our little basketball fans busy!
The Swish! game is one of my favorites as it’s a fast moving activity and allows for multiple practice opportunities. You can differentiate the activity by choosing which and how many basketballs to use. Students take turns choosing the balls and reading the words. If the student picks the “Swish!” card, he/sh can pick 3 more balls. If the “Penalty” ball is chosen all the balls must be put back. The player with the most balls at the end of times wins the game. Super simple, but it is definitely a favorite!
The Basketball Themed Sight Word Bundle can be found in my online Teachers Pay Teachers store.
For my first and second grade friends, the It’s All Net! Consonant + le activity is ideal for learning to read words containing this phonics skill. This activity contains 45 basketballs with consonant + le words.
The It’s All Net for Consonant + le can also be found in my TpT store.
There are 96 basketballs containing words with the past tense -ed. With this activity, students read and sort the words with the /t/, /d/ and /id/ sounds of -ed.
The It’s All Net! for the Sounds of -ed can be found my in TpT store.
The It’s All Net! activity is also available for short vowels and consonant blends: It’s All Net! Short Vowels, It’s All Net Consonant Blends
Again, for my friends who are learning more advance phonics skills, the Swish! game is perfect. These games are great for independent centers!
