Sight Word Hopscotch: Using sidewalk chalk, make a hopscotch board on your sidewalk or
driveway. In each square write one of this week’s sight words and fill in the rest of the squares
with other sight words that we have been practicing. The words can repeat for a longer
hopscotch board! Your child throws a rock onto the hopscotch board and whichever word it
lands on is the word to be read. Then they can jump along the board. Throw the rock to a new
word and keep on going! Repeat until all the words have been read at least once. See the
picture under the Lesson Four tab for an example. 

If you do not have sidewalk chalk, the following link provides a recipe for making your own!

this alternative example under the Lesson Four tab on the class website.
