To do this activity, students will read the sight words that are in the top boxes. They will then find the words in the text boxes below and rainbow trace them in the color shown. This is such a simple activity, but my students LOVE anything that has to do with crayons, markers, tracing/coloring, etc... I may even extend the activity and have the students then write the words out or write sentences using the given sight words (just on the back of their paper or in their writing to learn binders). The possibilities are endless, and this activity could easily be converted for spelling too! Download it here.

To play:

1. Cut out the Sight Word tiles, then use them to build the words.
2. Laminate then use dry-erase markers to write in spell the words.
3. Play “Sight Word Bingo”. Have students put a pom-pom, or glass bead on each word card as it is called, 3 in a row wins!
4. Use magnetic letters, or any other alphabet tiles you have to spell the words on a cookie sheet.
5. Use tracing pages to practice sight word handwriting and spelling.

Sight Word Tracers

Today we traced ALL of our sight words on paper. I had my girls read each word as they traced it!

Tracing Sight Words

We started using a sight word notebook today. This will keep most of the sight word practice in one place. Today, I wrote all the sight words in pen. Then I directed my daughter to trace the word have in yellow; then the word am in purple, and so forth. A fun way to practice identifying the words.

Drive a Sight Word Road

The roads came from Making Learning Fun
http://www.makinglearningfun.com/.

After driving the word, have your child write the sight word on a piece of paper.

Rainbow Words

Today is a great day for Rainbows!

Take your child's new sight words and write them on a piece of paper using bubble letters.

Then have your child makes rainbows inside the letters of the word. Have your child choose 8 colors and trace the inside of the letters using each color. That is eight times she is writing the letter and practicing the word!
Of course, make sure she is tracing the letters correctly before leaving her to work by herself. And make sure she does the entire word in one color before moving to the next color
