Tired of quizzing your child on their sight words? Some of the students learned a new game today called doodle. You write some of their sight words on index cards and add in a few cards that say doodle. Place them face down as you would for go fish. Take turns drawing cards. If your child reads the card correctly, they get to keep the card. If they read the word incorrectly, they put back all of their cards. If they pull a doodle card, they put all of their cards back. The end of the game is up to you. You can either put the doodle cards back in each time one is pulled and the game is over when you run out of time to play OR when a doodle card is pulled, you put back all the words but set the doodle card off to the side. Eventually there will be no doodle cards left and it's down to your child reading all of their words correctly to finish the game.
You can play this game with math facts too! Put different addition or subtraction facts on a card and if your child can give the correct answer, they get to keep the card. Your child may need a little more guidance with this version since we don't do a lot of math facts in the room.
You can continue to use this game throughout your child's education! Use it with more difficult words, more difficult math facts, vocabulary words or when they begin taking foreign language classes!
