Simply type the words into the custom list creator at the beginning of the pack, and all of the Back to School sight word games will be populated for you and ready to go. It AUTOMATICALLY fills EVERY activity with your chosen sight words in SECONDS!

Colorful Sight Words

First up is “Colorful Sight Words,” because we all know a brand new pack of crayons is a school staple!

Simply match up the crayons to their crayon boxes. Then have the students color in their matching crayon on the recording sheet if you choose!

Having optional recording sheets for these activities makes them work well for different ages and abilities, as you can use them with or without, depending on the needs of your students.

In our Colorful Sight Words activity, simply match up the crayons to their crayon boxes.

The Wheels on the Bus

Sing a round of “The Wheels on the Bus” and then do this fun sight word activity!

Pick a bus, and work on handwriting by writing the word you pick.

You could also choose to print two sets of buses and use it as a matching game!

Time for Lunch

Everyone loves lunch time!

Match up the adorable sandwiches and lunchboxes, and record some of your matches. Or use without the recording sheet if you choose.

Pick a Pencil

Spell some of your sight words by using the pencils to “write” the words on the pencil pouches!

Then, color in your words on the recording sheet.

Just a Dot of Glue

Teach your kids “Just a dot, not a lot!” to help them not overuse glue, and then do this fun sight word activity to match!

Pick a glue bottle, and color in the matching glue drop.

Pocket Chart Activities

PLUS… probably my favorite part of our Editable Sight Word Center packs are the pocket chart activities!

Say the chants together as a class, and then read the sight words. It’s a perfect circle time or morning meeting activity!

Use the chants in pocket charts to practice together as a class, and then read the sight words.
