Write your sight words onto the stickers and stick them in the center of the playing pieces (on one side only!).
How to Play:
Play Connect Four as you normally would (trying to get 4 of your color in a row) with this sight word twist- Turn the pieces with the sight word stickers facing DOWN. Before each turn the child picks up one of the playing pieces (with the sight word stickers face down) and reads the sight word correctly before putting the piece into play on the game board.
In order to play a piece, the player must first read a word correctly. If the child can't read the sight word, tell them what the word is and have them return it face down and pick a new piece. Mix up the words by using words they've already mastered, words they are working on, and even a few new words for challenge and variety. This will give the game a nice blend of challenge and ease to keep interest going. (And you don't have to re-do the stickers each time you play!)
