Morning Sight Word Games

If you have reached this page then you are looking to help your kiddo master word building. I have three elementary school children who love this activity. You can incorporate this activity for learning how to spell names, places, and more. I love using it for the vocabulary words that they get in school each week. Let’s get into it. ‘Morning Sight Word Games’

I love this ‘Clip It’ Preschool activity. The prep time is minimal. I made these clips and cards up in 10 mins. Since my kids have been on a break from this recent COVID-19 outbreak, I have been trying to keep them on a semi-structured schedule for half of the day.

The best time to introduce this activity or any others is in the morning after your kiddos breakfast. Right when they are up enough and not groggy. But before they get distracted by toys and playing.

COVID-19 Notice To Parents:

I know we have all been thrown through this chaos. I know we are all hurting. The kids are missing their friends and most importantly, their education. Now, living a temporary home school lifestyle while trying to balance work and daily chores, it is simply overwhelming. I get it. Please do not feel hard on yourself or that you are falling short of teaching your child.

Encourage naps or quiet times to have a break and get work done around the house.

Have a balance of learning time and just simply break time.

Learning can be implemented in many fun forms learning apps, hands-on interactive activities and more.

Hang in there, mama.

The good that comes out of this is we get to spend time with one another.

And simply just slow down.

‘Clip It’ Sight Word Games

This activity can be utilized for any elementary school-aged child. It is very easy, yet challenging and stimulates the brain. The holding, opening, and closing of the clips are great to strengthen motor skills in preschoolers and autistic/special needs children.

1. Put the Items In The Bag

Give your child the bag with the clothespins that has the letters on each clip. The index card should be on here too.
