I am always looking for new and exciting ways to practice sight words with J. So when I saw this Sight Word Parking Lot activity from Juggling With Kids (Seriously, check it out, but come back here, OK?), I just knew I had to try it out, with my own spin on it, of course! We took it outdoors and did it on a much larger scale!
Luckily, one day a few weeks ago, the neighbors behind us gave us a ride on car (for free!) since their kids had outgrown it. It was the perfect car to use for this activity. However, a tricycle or bike would work just as well.
Then it was time to do the activity. If I had blinked, I would have missed J doing it. He just drove around, without parking in the parking spots, reading all the words. Took him like 15 seconds and then he was done. Turns out he just wanted to write his own words with the chalk. Regardless, he got his sight word practice in and then moved on so it wasn't a complete fail.
Looking for more sight words activities? Check out our Sight Word Popsicle Stick Puzzles or Sight Word Matching Pole.
This is a wonderful way to work on sight words. I will be sharing it on Facebook with my readers.

ReplyDeleteYou could use a bicycle instead, Emma.
