I had a problem…
My kindergarten class was filled with kids at MANY different reading levels. Some were just beginning to recognize their letters and others were reading short novels.
I knew that teaching kids sight words that were at their just right reading level would skyrocket their progress… but it was SO time-consuming to pull together activities for every sight word list week after week. Sound familiar?!
Here’s how I fixed it…
I set out on a mission to create a sanity saving solution and ended up designing 32 motivating sight word games kids loved to play.
But the secret sauce was that I made them EDITABLE.
I could type my words ONCE on the getting started page and they automatically loaded into every activity so I could quickly print and play.
Cue the confetti!
I won’t downplay it – I’m totally obsessed with these EDITABLE sight word games.
And teachers are too!
The pack has earned more than 2,500 four star ratings on Teachers Pay Teachers.
Because I could easily create duplicate versions of the same game using differentiated word lists, one group of students could practice 18 beginning of the year sight words while another group of children worked on the same activity but focused on harder words.
I could even EDIT THE DIRECTIONS!
Now I can’t believe I used to spend so much time putting together literacy centers!
“How am I only finding this resource now?… As a French teacher, I so often find myself having to create my own resources or tweak English resources that I find. This amazing packet removes that headache!
You have just saved me so much time, girlfriend. I can’t say thank you enough!! :)” – Bilingual Mingle
Flip, read and write sight word eggs.
Spray some bugs!
Go on a treasure hunt.
And so. much. more.
Type the words once and you instantly have 32 ready to print sight word games.
Awesome, right?!
This sanity saving pack makes it so easy to make engaging, just right literacy centers all year long.

Hi, I just bought your 30 editable sight word games. I used my Ipad to buy it through this website (not the teachers pay teachers). I confirmed my email and still don’t see how to download it. Can you help me figure out what I am doing wrong? Looking forward to seeing what I just bought! 🙂 Thanks!
Figured it out! Thanks for your work!
So glad you were able to download the activity pack, Michelle!! Enjoy! 🙂
Malia,
Trying to find the Drag Racing Sight Words Bracket to print out but cannot find it on the right hand of the page. Where is it? Thanks! Looking forward to using some of your ideas!
I’m happy to help, Roma! Thanks for letting me know about the missing drag racing bracket. Some of the printables moved around when we did our website redesign a couple months ago. Here’s the direct link to the freebie:
