Here 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.
THEN, I hide them in the room.
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.

My class went nuts over this.
I will be doing it again and again.

I love this!!!! I can't wait to use it. What a great way to practice sight words!
Love,Love,Love this…
We are doing letter A this week and this is a perfect way to enrich!
*NOTE..when I copied Page 3-6 I put four to a sheet..this will give each child their own sheet and I can use our small clipboards for them.(you know how kinders LOVE clipboards!)
THe Big letter ones 7-8 I did full size.
THank you so much I know my kiddos will love this for all the new words we will be learning.

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.
Love this!
Thanks for the freebie!
What a great idea! I can't wait to try it! Thank you for sharing!
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.

Extra cute idea~~can't wait to use it! thank yoU!
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.
Thanks so much for placing the instructions/idea in the file. Getting started right now!
Love it!!! Thank you so much for sharing! I can't wait to use it with my Kdg class 🙂
What a cute idea! I'm looking forward to trying it with my kiddos! Thanks! 🙂
So cute!! I am passing your blog on to my K friend at our school! We just found you and are now following. We would love it if you stopped by sometime!

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!
