Sight Word Basketball Rules This is a 2 player game. 1.) Print out the game board You can laminate the game board so that it lasts longer if you wish. 2.) Print out or choose sight words you would your students to practice. The sight words are listed in the order they appear in Sight and Sound Reading's 120 day program. If your student is just starting to read, I suggest choosing only 1 page of words. If your student is an experienced reader, I suggest choosing 2-5 pages of sight words to practice. 3) For each practice sheet of sight words, print and cut out a sheet of extra cards. These cards are labeled Basket, Foul 3) Each student chooses a player. (It is best to use little game pieces that stay in place and are small enough for the board). Each player starts in an basket. Players can start and play from opposite sides, working to score against each other, or they can move the same way on the board -whatever your student will understand. 4) Shuffle and turn cards upside down in a pile. 5) Player 1 chooses a card. If he reads the sight word correctly, he can move one number on the board. (Move to the 1). If not, he moves back one line (or stays on basket). If he chooses a card that says basket, he gets 2points. If he gets a foul card, he must move back 1 line on the board (or stays in the basket). 6). Player 2 takes a turn, doing the same thing as Player 1 in Rule 35. 7) As players advance across the board and score goals, they receive 1 point, and start back at the opposite side. You can play this game with the alphabet letters for littler ones. You can also play with the sounds of the letters as well. Play for as long or high scoring as you wish. The more practice, the better!
