Popcorn Sight Words

For reteach, I have been trying to find new activities to help them learn more than just their sight words. The activity below is so simple to create and the students really seemed to have a lot of fun with it. 

The bucket consists of crumpled up yellow and white paper. Hidden within the paper the students found their sight words written on paper that looks like popcorn. Using a clothes pin, the students had to search for a sight word and pull it out. It was great for those who needed a little extra help with their fine motor skills. 

Each day I plan to put a twist on it. This week, as a class, we are working really hard to count to 50. To help us, each student has 50 seconds to get as many of the sight word pieces out of the popcorn tub. The student looking for popcorn pieces has to know their sight words and the students awaiting their turn are practicing counting to 50.

For this activity to be more like a game, you could also put in different popcorn pieces that say lose a turn or one free popcorn piece. The ideas for this activity are endless!

Student Friendly: I can read my sight words with fluency.
