Workshop Wednesday

Valentine Sight Words
Small Group Activity

This Valentine themed activity for practicing sight words is super simple yet still tons of fun for little ones.

Materials: one magnetic cookie tray or other magnetic surface per child, paper Valentine hearts, tape, sight word cards, and magnetic letters

Directions:  First, tape the hearts to the cookie trays (laminate paper hearts for durability.) Next, make one individual sight word ring per child with the words they are learning. Finally, place the letters that correspond to the words in a small Ziploc bag, one bag per child. Give each child a magnetic cookie tray, a ring of sight words, and a bag of magnetic letters. Have children spell the sight words from the rings on their cookie tray.

Magnetic Valentine Sight WordsYou could also have the students match upper to lowercase letters on the trays or spell their names. The cookie trays can be purchased from the Dollar Store and the hearts are pages from a notepad.
