This was an easy activity for my kids to practice sight words and letters. It was inspired by Playdough to Plato’s Sight Word Pancakes Game that I saw on Pinterest.
We decided to pretend they were flipping hamburgers. It’s great because this game can be differentiated. My Kindergartener flipped sight words while my 3 year-old flipped letters. You can write the letters or words yourself or your child(ren) can write them before you begin, if that’s something they’d enjoy. I also like the fact that you will most likely have the materials to make this game on hand.
Materials:
- Cardboard
- Scissors
- Marker
- Pan
- Spatula
- Words or Letters that your child needs to practice
Use a circular stencil like a cup to draw circles on the cardboard. Cut out the circles and write words or letters on them.
To play: They can talk about the words or letters they’re flipping. You can also ask them to flip different words to help them learn the words.
My kids wanted to keep playing with the burgers after they were done flipping them in the pan. Fun!
