About this resource
What's inside this resource
This resource is a Sight Word Popcorn Activity.
Here is a simple yet effective way of practicing sight words (otherwise known as dolch, or “popcorn” words).
Copy and cut the sight word popcorn pieces and laminate for durability.
A fun way to present this activity is to purchase some plastic popcorn containers to use.
Place the popcorn words in a larger container that students cannot see into A popcorn label is included to print and paste to the front of a plain bag.
Students take turns picking a popcorn piece without looking, and reading the word if they can. If they can read the word, the popcorn piece goes into their container and the next student then chooses a word.
Full instructions are included for how to implement this fun game!
