I’m always looking for new ways to practice sight words with my boys. I created a Fall sight word freebie that’s very simple to use. You’ll just need to print the sheet, write some words you’re working on in the circles, and grab a die and markers.
(This post contains affiliate links.)
How to Play Fall Roll & Stamp:
1. Print the freebie (found at the end of this post).
2. Write a sight word in each circle. Choose a set of words your child or class has been working on. You may want to focus on words that your reader has been struggling with – but be sure to put some easy ones in there too.
3. For one player — have him roll the die, find a matching number on the board, and read the word in the adjoining circle. If he reads the word correctly he can stamp it with a Do-a-Dot marker, cover it with a playing piece, or color it.
4. If you have two children at the same level, you can make this a two-person game. Have them take turns rolling the die and covering or coloring circles – but each of them should always use the same color. When every space is covered, each child counts his color to see who’s the winner. Since a lot depends on the roll of the die and not just skill, this can be a game you play with your child, too.
Since my boys (ages 3 and 5) are at very different levels when it comes to reading, I chose a different set of sight words for each of them. I printed basic sight words we’ve learned for my Three (see above) and color and number words for my Five.

Hi! Thank you so much for this fun sight word game! Would it be okay for me to include this in a round-up blog post I am working on that is specifically about learning sight words with fall/ Thanksgiving activities? (Permission to link to your site and possibly use one of the images to show your activity?) I would be so honored, and of course I would leave a link to this page to tell people where it came from! 🙂

Thank you! 🙂 Amy

Hi Amy! Yes, linking to a blog post with a single image is always fine (just please link to the post and not the pdf file). Thank you!
