While I was driving home the gears in my brain were turning. I decided to come home and make a game for them. Last year I would project sight words onto my whiteboard using my document projector. I would call out a sight word and my students would take turns swatting a word with a fly swatter. They loved this game and begged to play it all the time. I made a game last night using our Kindergarten sight word list. I plan on using my game "Splat!" as a large group activity to introduce and practice sight words. I am including a free copy of the game for you to use in your classroom. I am so excited to offer my first freebie! :)

Thanks for sharing the find. I have use fly swatters in my classroom as part of a review game before giving a test or quiz with recent vocabulary terms. We call it SWAT and the kids adore it. I just write some words on the board and the class competes to be the winning team.
