The Kiosk Team
A Game to Build Sight Word and Alphabet Letter Naming Fluency.
Linked to the National Common Core Standards.
Kindergarten Kiosk
*Graphics by: KMP Doodles
Objective: Recognizing sight words (or alphabet letters) at a uent level.
Common Core Standard: RF.K.1: Recognize and name all upper and lowercase alphabet letters.
RF.K.3: Read Common high-frequency words.
RF.1.3: Recognize and read irregularly spelled words.
RF.2.3: Recognize and read irregularly spelled words.
Rationale: Repeated practice with sight words and alphabet letters will aide in uency development.
Materials: Decide which sight word cards you wish to use for the game; a large variety has been
provided for exibility. Blank cards are available to write desired words that are not available. Also, a
set of alphabet cards are included for struggling students (or younger students) to successfully play the
game. Copy the playing cards on tag, laminate and cut to make a deck. Place cards in a container from
which to draw. Gather a collection container for each player.
NOTE: A great addition before playing this game is to read The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats and
talk about the warm and bundled snow kid in the story.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seat students at a table or carpeted area. Place the container within easy reach of all students. Today
we are going to play a game called BRRRRR. Direct attention to the playing cards in the center of
the table.
Each of you will take a turn drawing a snow kid out of the container. You will look at the word
(letter) printed on his/her tummy and read the word (letter). If you are correct, you may collect
that snow kid in your (sack, bucket, bowl, etc.) If you cannot read the word by yourself, you may
ask any other player for help at any time.
If the card has the word BRRRRR printed on it, all of us will join you to stand, jump up and
down as we shiver, and say, BRRRR! You will then immediately return all of your collected
snow kids back to the draw pile so they may join the safety of the other snow kids.
Play as time allows. Remember the object of the game is to build sight word (letter naming)
automaticity. Help students gain strategies in recognizing the words (letters).
Independent Option:
Place a container of the sight word (alphabet) cards in the center of a table or carpeted
area; give each student a dry erase maker, eraser, and a white board.
Each student draws a card from the container. If it is a snow kid he/she write the word
(letter) on their white board. If it is a BURRRRR card, the student must erase his/her entire
board.
Students continue to play as time allows (consider putting a timer at the table for students to
visualize available time). The student with the most words on his/her board at the end of time wins.
