Activity Overview
Assist children in learning their sight words and enhance their vocabulary and reading ability by creating this sight word matching game. This sight word scavenger hunt and matching game is made from a cardboard tube, a marker and some stickers and is very easily created.
This educational game uses recycled materials and encourages young children to learn their letters and the sequence of the alphabet by matching the sticker to the sight word hidden on the surface of the paper towel cardboard tube. This is a super quiet time activity for school aged children and can be done in the car, in a waiting room, or at anytime where quiet or down time is appreciated.
Materials Needed
- Paper Towel cardboard tube
- Sharpie Marker
- A sheet of sticker dots
How to Make and Play
- Use your sharpie marker to cover a cardboard tube with randomly placed sight words from their sight word list.
- Now, write the corresponding sight words onto the individual sticker dots.
- Have your child rotate the tube around and go on a letter hunt and match the sticker with the corresponding sight word by sticking the corresponding dot over the word.
- Have the child say the word out loud if you like after each match is found.
