Alligator CHOMP!

September 2, 2012 by Mary Amoson 27 Comments

Alligator CHOMP FREEBIE GAMEHere is an idea I came up with this week and my kids LOVED it. I call it Alligator CHOMP! since we were learning about the letter Aa.
I made 5 numbered alligators and wrote ONE letter of a sight word on each.
THEN, I hide them in the room.Alligator CHOMP freebie game
I gave each of my students their Alligator CHOMP! sheet and them then find the alligators.
When they did, the wrote down the letter next to the number on their sheets.
At the end, they created a sight word. My word was white.
 Freebie game that is open ended and so FUN.
My class went nuts over this.
I will be doing it again and again.
But… what about you guys?
My blog name is “Sharing Kindergarten” after all.
I created a FREE digital copy of this activity for you guys.
I made it so you can play with 2, 3, 4, or 5 letter words.

Click {here} to grab it.I love doing this activity the week we cover the letter A.

A is for Apple

      My kinders DID use clipboards for this. I didn't copy so many onto a page because my kids write BIG this year. Just keep that mind before making copies. I love your idea though. Paper count can be an issue.

    I love this idea! My kids aren't ready to write words for write the room, so this is an excellent way to start. I just did one for bears, since that is my theme next week.
    Love your blog and all your great ideas.

    I did this last year at the end of the year as part of our spelling "word work". They had to find the word, and then remember how to spell it, walk back to their table and write it. I found it to be perfect for my high energy kiddos.

    Love this! Will be doing it after I read the book "There's an Alligator under my bed" by Mercer Mayer. I always have the students write a book about something "their" alligator would eat – the boys traps the alligator by leaving a trail of food… This is an amazing and engaging way to carry it further! Thank you. Hope you will "share" that book with your class!
