Spelling and Sight Word Cheers and Chants

Why not make sight word learning fun for your students?  I have created some wonderful cards that will help get your students moving!  Some of the cards are for sitting and others are for standing up.  Some can be used for either.  There are even a few cards that students will need a partner!  These can also be used to learn spelling words so the cards will work for all Elementary grade levels!

How about some fun examples:

- My second graders I previously taught absolutely loved Movie Star Kisses.  The students start with their hand at their mouth and blow kisses for each letter like a movie star winning an award!

- Volcano: Students start out at a whisper and get louder with each letter.  Then explode when you say the word at the end.

- Hand Jive: Pair your students up.  Children clap hands together for consonants and lap clap for vowels.  They put their hands in the air at the end as you say the word.

- Motorcycle: Hang on to the pretend handle bars and do wheelies for each letter.

- Back Tracer - Students stand up and form a circle.  Trace the letter of the back of the person in front of you.

You can find many more fun chants and cheers including Batter Up, Hula, Surfin' and Spellin', Frog Jumps, Yo-Yo, Chicken, and Ketchup.

I would love to hear any ideas that you have for using sight words and spelling words that allow your students to move!  Share below in the comments!

Saint Patrick's Day Task Cards

First off, I want to thank all my loyal followers, fans, friends, family, and anyone else who stops by to view my teaching website.  I can't believe that I'm over 3,300 views already.  That is simply amazing as I just started the website on Dec. 28th.  I sure didn't expect it to do this well.

I have put out three freebies so far.  Hopefully, you have grabbed them all as I have had loads of views and downloads on each of them!

I have now made my first ever paid product that you can purchase on at my store on Teachers Pay Teachers by going here: Saint Patrick's Day Task Cards - $2.50

If you enjoyed my All About Rabbit Task Cards you will my St. Patrick's Day Task Cards.  These are great for pre and post assessment and also for your early finishers.  We all have students who finish their work early and many of us have gifted students.  Put them all on a ring and let your students quiz themselves!  These also might be fun if you are a parent with a child at home who gets bored, but loves to learn new things.

I hope you will take a look at it and plan ahead for Saint Patrick's Day!

All About Rabbits Freebie - Updated

Way back when I first started my blog I tried to put out my first freebie.  It was the All About Rabbit task Cards.  I had a horrible time if you remember trying to get the table to align right so it was the same length on each page.  I now have it completely fixed so if you downloaded it before please head on over to TPT and download the new better version for FREE! 

Go here to see the original post on how you may use it in your classroom: A Hoppin' Freebie Blog Post
