Kyle (fabulous artist) made this adorable reindeer clip art just so I can create a few Christmas-themed activities. Many of our kindergarteners, first graders and second graders are working on various list of the Dolch 220 sight words, so I thought it’d be fun to make an activity just for sight word practice. You can easily differentiate this activity by choosing which and how many sight word reindeer to use. Playing the game is quite simple and that’s why it’s ideal for an independent center. Students take turns choosing a reindeer and reading the word. The first student to choose a reindeer with “coal” must put all their reindeer back in the pile and play resumes. The student with the most cards at the end of the game wins.
The Santa’s Reindeer for Sight Words is available through the Make, Take & Teach website or through my online Teachers Pay Teachers store.
Many of our first graders are working on blending Consonant-Vowel-Consonant words. The Santa’s Reindeer activity may just do the trick for keeping them engaged right before Christmas vacation. This activity contains 104 CVC words!
The Santa’s Reindeer activity for CVC words is also available through the Make, Take & Teach website or through my online Teachers Pay Teachers store.
I like to store the activities in baggies. I’ve also included a label in each file. I simply print the page on a full-sized Avery label, cut the label and then adhere it to the baggie.
Enjoy!
