What's In The Hat?

Read What's In the Hat!
A Game To Reinforce Sight Word Recognition

(Click on the picture to download the pdf.)

Print the game cards and grab a hat!

Students take turns drawing a sight word card from the hat.
If the student can read the word card correctly, he/she keeps the card.
Students continue taking turns.
(If the word card drawn is unknown, place it in a discard pile to review at the end of the game.)

If a "Thing One and Thing Two" card is drawn, the student returns all of his/her word cards to the hat.
(The "Thing One and Thing Two" card is placed in a separate pile and does not need to be returned to the hat.)
Play continues as time allows or until the hat is empty!

I've provided a pdf of 100 sight words and 24 "Thing One and Thing Two" cards.  Include as many or as few of the cards as appropriate for your group of students.  This version of the game "Bang" reinforces sight word recognition during our week of Dr. Seuss Fun!

Enjoy!
