I found a Candy Land sight word game on Mrs. Cooley's blog and LOVED the idea! I, of course, had to change it a little to adapt it to my class. I wrote sight words on the back of each card and students have to read the word before they can advance to that colored space. I differentiated the game by creating 2 levels. I wrote initial sight words from the beginning of the year {and those that can be sounded out phonetically} on cards with only one color space for lower level students and harder words {those which can't be sounded out phonetically} on cards with two color spaces for higher students. I saved the character cards for question words that we haven't technically studied yet since they have the best pay-offs in the game. I want students to take responsibility for words they don't accurately read during the game so I created this recording sheet for words they need to practice at home.
Oh! It isn't showing up but I used font "Tonight's the Night" downloaded for {FREE} from Free Scrapbook Fonts - button to the right under Blogspiration! - and my text totally looks like Candy Land candy canes!! :)
