One of the best ways to teach a child something (anything!)
is to make it memorable.
is to make it memorable.
I firmly believe that FUN = Memorable for kids.
those basics, like ABC's, Colors & Sight Words, that can get boring - FUN!
So, armed with a few index cards, some tape and a sharpie
I turned Twister into a fun learning game for the Lil Divas.
There were tons of giggles, a few falls, many body part tangles,
countless laughs and lots and lots of learning.
Sight Word Twister
What You Need:

What To Do:

i love your blog, and this idea is amazing!! I will defintly be doing this! I also loved your little phrase "the road to reading can be fun" and you have made it very fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I loved Twister when I was a kid and now wish we had used it like this! It looks like your girls loved it.
ReplyDeleteMy kids would go crazy over this. I have two that are just learning to read right now. What a fantastic idea!
ReplyDeleteI would really love for you to submit this to the Make and Takes spotlight page. We're looking for great ideas like this to showcase. (http://www.makeandtakes.com/spotlight)
This is a fantastic idea! I love it. You could adapt it to learn so many different things. Genius :D I've shared and pinned. Stumbling soon. Thank you for posting!
ReplyDeleteOh, I think I am going to have to pull out our Twister game and try this idea out!

ReplyDeleteThank you! I just this link and I am excited to use the idea for my Pre-K class with letter, number and color recognition!!
ReplyDeleteThey will have fun with this! My girls LOVE playing it & we have used it in various ways - never gets boring since it's hilarious to play Twister in general.
DeleteThis is great!!! I'm going to turn twister into a coin recognition game :)
ReplyDeleteoh, that's a GREAT one! Be sure to share photos on my FB wall or something - would love to see it!
DeleteFantastic activity! I'm imagining having matching pairs of favorite comic strip characters, cut from the newspaper and pasted onto heavier cardstock or a birthday "wish list" of matches. Great opportunity to practice scissor accuracy, gluing, matching...Thanks for the wonderful idea! K.

ReplyDeleteHow do you do the calls for them to put their feet and hands on? Are there any words on the mat in more than one color circle?
ReplyDeleteThe Goodwill Store has Twister and many wonderful games and books for the classroom and very reasonable!
ReplyDeleteoh wow I wrote this idea down the other day, and looking tonight I see you also had this great thought. Great minds think alike is true.
ReplyDeleteI found this and decided I had to make one. I made one small change I took Basball Trading Card plastic sleeves and ran them through my Xyron Sticker maker and put one on each circle, so that I can put the word cards in the sleeves so the cards do not get all bent up from play.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Thanks for the idea! My kids love Twister!
ReplyDeleteNow this is great! It is a perfect example of brain-based learning! I linked it on my educational facebook page and I'm going to link it on my blog (for my school parents) as well....and then tomorrow, I will attempt to NOT break my neck while playing this with the kids. =)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry if I'm a little dense but how would you play this?
ReplyDeleteYou would put sight words on the circles. The person with the board would spin it and read what it lands on. For example, if the black arrow landed on Right Foot Red, you would say Right Foot "and" or whatever the sight word was.
