Here are some great practice pages for sight words. With our school district cutting back on paper so drastically nothing like this is coming home so I am going to print the ones that Mr. Man needs to work on and then save them and have him "invisible draw" over them (that's an unsharpened pencil.)

bubble wrap
Bubble Wrap Burst!
Here's a fun way to reinforce any simple skill your kiddo needs help with.
Write letters, sight words, math facts on each bubble and when the kiddo correctly reads the words, ids the letter/sound, or solves the fact they get to pop the bubble.
Great fine motor activity too!

Moose
Moose
Another simple game that can be made to reinforce many skills.
You will need:
wooden craft sticks or tongue depressors
fine tip permanent marker
can/cup/jar
To prep write the color, letter, math fact or any other skill on each stick. On a few sticks write the word MOOSE. (If you crafty you can draw a picture. I wrote it and make an attempt to draw antlers!) Place the sticks in the cup so that the fact/word is at the bottom of the cup.
Each player takes turns pulling out a stick and naming the color, letter or saying the letter sound or solving the math fact. When a player pulls the word MOOSE from the cup they say (or yell) moose and make the moose sign. My little guys is doing his version below. The true ASL sign is with all 5 fingers extended on both hands but the "I love you" version was just too cute not to share. Then all the players put there sticks back in the cup again. This can be the never ending game or you can play until each player gets moose x-times.
Happy Learning!

Sight Word Spin
Here's a quick easy game.
Sight-Word-Spin
You will need:
a small top (I got mine at Walmart in with stocking stuffers.)
a cookie sheet with edges
a copy of templates below
a copy of the recording sheet (optional)
Fill in the sight words being practice at the bottom of the recording sheet.
Place the sight word sheet in the cookie sheet. Let the child spin the top in the cookie sheet. Have them read the word the top lands on and fill in the box above the correct word on the recording sheet. Play until one word reaches the top. To make this reuseable use pennies, or other small markers to record your data.
Also, you can use any sight words you like by simply writing in new words on the blank word grid.

Sight Words
We have been working hard on our Star Words (Sight Words to everyone else!!!) And I have been trying to find a way to post them that is cute and doesn't take up too much room. Thank you Pinterest. I found this super cute idea at another blog
Sight Word Caterpillar
I may change it up at bit and make it a book too. With the caterpillar faces as the cover and the pages with each word! We'll see how I do.

US Coin practice
The kiddos have started working on identifying US coins so here are a few resources that might help out.
First, the US Mint has a good website.
US Mint
I especially like the printable coins. They are full page and show the details up close. I print them double sided so the kiddos can color them and cut them out but you don't have to.
Coin Coloring Pages
I also found a few worksheets that are a bit more advanced for the kiddos that understand the coins values and are ready for the next step!

Numbers and Number Word Practice
The kindergarteners around here are working on learning their number words and I found these cute printables to reinforce that skill.
number practice worksheets from first-school.ws
If you want it a bit more hands on try having your kiddo glue on any round objects instead of simply coloring in the correct number in the jar!

Welcome
Bear with me as I start out slowly.
I really just want to share with friends when I find something good to enrich my little monkeys learning. I will try my best to post both activities and worksheets. So that when you feel like doing something in depth that takes time and energy you can and when you just need them to do something to stay busy and prefer it not be TV/computer you can just print and hand it off!
