Divide the class into 3 to 4 groups (depending on the number of learners in the class).
The rule of the game: Teacher read the sight word aloud and call on the groups to send a volunteer to hop on the word in the box on the floor and read it aloud too. If the child is correct, the group gets a point.
*
If the child is incorrect, the group loses the chance and does not get a point. If nobody knows it, the teacher demonstrates and hop on the grid and no one gets a point.
Select a group to start with.
