4 Ways to Play

Seek a Sight Word and Color

This sight word game would make for an easy-prep literacy center activity. Start by downloading the editable file and typing in your word list.

Print, laminate, and cut apart the ice cream cone word cards. Place the Seek a Sight Word recording sheet in your centers with crayons and the sight word ice cream cones.

Students will pick an ice cream cone card from the pile, read it, and find and color it on the recording sheet. The activity continues until all of the sight word ice cream cone cards have been read and colored in!

Students pick a sight word cone and color the matching ice cream scoop on the recording sheet.

Seek a Sight Word “Cover Up”

This is my all-time favorite way to use this sight word game! Just grab some small manipulatives that look like ice cream toppings (pom poms work great!).

The game proceeds as usual with kids reading the sight word but this time students get to “cover up” the sight word with a pom pom. It’s an easy way to put a twist on the Seek a Sight Word game!

Students can also use fun manipulatives like pom poms to cover up the words on the recording sheet.

Seek a Sight Word and Color Partner Race

In this variation, two players share a recording sheet and each picks one color crayon that is their designated color for the whole game.

Player #1 draws a card, reads the sight word, and finds and colors it on the recording sheet. Player #2 then proceeds as player #1 did.

If a player doesn’t know the sight word, they must put the card at the bottom of the pile and they miss their turn. The player with the most ice cream scoops colored at the end of the game is the winner!

Students will continue picking sight word cones and coloring them on the recording sheet until all the scoops are colored.

Read the Room Seek a Sight Word

In partners, children take turns hiding the sight word cards around the classroom. The student that did not hide the cards will use the recording sheet to color in the words as they search and find them.

Students then switch so each child has a turn to “hide” and “seek!”
