Sight Word Bowling

Here is a fun game for any student. It brings the sport of bowling and learning all at the same time. You are not actually bowling, but the picture are of a bowling ball, the scoring sheets are an actual score sheet you would see at a bowling alley. There are different levels of this game, so if you have students at different levels they do not feel hesitant when having to practice saying a word. This game also includes math. The object of this game is to get the most points at the end of the game. Each time you pull out a bowling ball, you say the word. If you get it correct, you count the points on the bowling ball. If you are unable to say the word you would score a 0 also known as a "gutter ball."

The way I set this game, is with different containers that have the different level of sight words. I also clipped the bag I stored to cards to the inside of the container so that way the students can see which level it is. Also, after they are done with the card they are to put that card back in the correct container.

With the worksheets, each worksheet has different amount of players along with how many innings they want to play. My students enjoy this game and it's one of the first games they pick when they are moving from one activity to another and have a little down time.
 
You can see in this picture the numbers in the corner of the letters. The squares remind me of playing scrabble.

 

Happy Learning!
