Hello, every one this morning I wanted to share with you another sight word game that our family loves it is called fiddle sticks.

 

How to play

 

Each player takes turn pulling a stick out of the can, on each stick there is a sight word. (This can be adapted to younger players by doing the letters of the alphabet or older children by vocabulary word that they have to define.)

After the player has pulled a stick out they have to correctly say the sight word, if they do not know it the other players get a chance to correctly name the word which ever player get the word correct gets the fiddle stick.

There are 2 to 3 sticks in the can that have red tips on them if a player pulls a stick with a red tip they must  give all of their stick to the player to the right. When the can is empty of everything but the 2 or 3 re tipped sticks the game is over. Which ever player has the most fiddle sticks is deemed the winner of the game.

 

set up

 

Take a old can, or any other container preferably not a clear container because the words and red tips go face down into the can or jar. I used a  green bean can.  I hot glued pompom on the  brim of the can both inside and out to protect little hands from the shape edges of the cans.

 

 

next get your sticks and write you sight words or whatever you have decided to play the game with on the sticks. Make 2-3 red tipped sticks and put them in the can with the rest of the sticks.

 

Grab your players and have fun.

Happy playing
