This pack of sight word games is perfect for Back to School, but the best part about it is that the sight word games are editable!
That means that these sight word games can be used with ANY word list!

It AUTOMATICALLY fills EVERY sight word activity with your chosen sight words in SECONDS!
Are you excited yet? Here’s a look at the fun sight word activities inside.
This pack contains 7 engaging sight word activities that are sure to boost your Back to School literacy centers!
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.

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!
