LOOK - Letter and Word Recognition Game

My kids and I have always enjoyed playing the game Spot It. The game is fast and can be played in a variety of ways. I have always thought it would be great if the games included high frequency words and wondered if I could somehow add them to the cards. Anything is possible.  After a little thinking, I was able to create the cards exactly how I wanted. The words I used were from Jan Richardson’s Sight Word Chart for Monitoring Progress. There is a different game for each level of words. Below is a link to my Teacher Store and photos of how I organize my games. Check back soon as I will update the themes and get them on my Teacher store soon! Please note, the game I created is not associated with Spot It or its manufacturers. 

I printed my cards on cardstock, added labels to the back of them, and laminated them. The reason for the labels: We all know cards get lost and as teachers we tend to create more than one set. Each set is numbered so if a card is left out, you know where its home is. Labels are included in the downloadable document.  

The cute little storage cases I store the cards in, are the containers from electrical tape. My aunt and uncle, who is an electrician, saved them for me when I was in the classroom! I use them for everything!  See photo. I did a little searching though and found these on Oriental Trading’s website. They are inexpensive and would work the same way. You can get them HERE.

This game is great for indoor recess, centers, and could be a great make and take class for parents and students to bring home. As a reading teacher, I create the game, laminate it, and send it home for my students. Use how you wish!  Enjoy
