Wipeout!

Students flip over this sight word game!

(I believe the idea came from Mailbox magazine)

Preparation: Prepare two identical class sets of sight word cards.

Divide students into small groups of equal size. Give each student a word card from the first set and have him/her place it face-up on table in front of himself/herself.

Place the second set of cards in a bag.

To play, remove a card from the bag and read it aloud. The student who has the word flips his/her card over.

Play continues until all members of small group have turned their cards facedown.

They stand and call "Wipeout!"

To win the round, each student reads aloud his/her word for verification.

To play again, have the students exchange word cards and you return your set of cards to the bag.

Play as many additional rounds as desired.
