How the Winter Roll and Map Sight Word Games Work
In Roll and Map Sight Words, students play in pairs, taking turns to roll and map their sight words on winter-themed game mats. Here’s how it works:
- Roll and Map: Players take turns rolling a sight word to map.
- Map the Word: Students map the word by identifying tricky sounds and writing the word with dry-erase markers.
- Cover the Word: If the student successfully maps the word, they cover it on their winter-themed game mat.
- Win the Game: The first player to map and cover all their words wins!
This game encourages sight word recognition while keeping students engaged with the festive designs, making practice fun and effective.
