I was trying to think of a different way to practice sight words for Unit 2 in our Reading Series and after seeing a teacher create a sight word game with Candyland, I decided that I could do the same with MY favorite childhood board game... SORRY! Ok guys, I used to be obsessed with this game as a kid. I probably drove my mom and dad crazy asking them to play it with me all the time! I found this game at a thrift store for 2 dollars (as you can see by looking at the box!) and just doctored it up a little to make it appropriate for sight words.
Here's how you play: Turn over a sight word card. If you can read it correctly within 3 seconds, you get to roll the dice and move your pawn. If you land on a space with a star on it (which I drew on the game board) you get to draw a STAR card. These cards have either good or bad consequences! If you draw a BANG card, you lose your turn.
Sounds like fun, right? I feel like I would have loved to play Sight Word Sorry in my class! Parents, this is also a neat twist you can do to a board game you might have at home to help your child practice for our weekly sight word test. :)
