Great practice and reward for my small reading groups. They love playing!Other ideas:1. Speed Round (remove the POPs and see how many words can be read in 1-3 minutes, depending on ages.)2. Old School Memory (I bought 2 more sets and matched the words to create “beginner” and “advanced” memory games.

This is a great game idea but I did make a couple of changes to the rules so my five-year-old son doesn't get frustrated.First, along with the box of words I have a glass jar full of colorful M&M's. At the end of the game everyone adds up how many sight words they got correct and they get to pull out that many M&M's out of the jar to eat. This makes it a much more appealing game to my son as he's smart enough to know that this is really just a way to do "homework".Second, besides all of the sight word cards there are cards in the box that say POP on them. If you pull one of those out it's a negative thing and means you lose all the points you have earned up to that part of the game. Not the greatest idea for small kids. Because I knew that could make my kiddo really upset I changed the rule so that when anyone pulled out a POP card everyone gets to take one M&M out of the jar and "POP" it into their mouth right then. Now it's exciting to pull out a POP card. I know it's important to teach kids that there are always winners and losers in a game but I wanted this one to be all positive so he would really want to learn those words!I am excited to have a way to work on sight words with my kindergartner and reward him at the same time.

We got this about a week ago to use now that school is over. I homeschool and want to keep them learning without them knowing they are learning. :) This is MUCH more fun than flashcards, but the same concept. I have a 5 and 6 year old and we played together. I made up my own rules...when they got 10 words that they read on their own, they'd get a small sticker or piece of candy. (I let them keep them in their hand and it was a great math exercise as well. If they had 7, I would ask, "How many more do you need to get to 10?") They were so excited that they were bouncing on my bed as we played. (Great idea!) So instead of telling them that they can't jump (as most moms do), I told them that if they got a "POP" card that they could jump "X" amount of times on the bed. They loved it! My older two even wanted to play! I got this for seven dollars and some change, but I'd pay full price looking back. Well, worth the money! The box is cardboard, but very durable, so are the popcorn pieces. I agree with the other moms that you should play WITH your child! Some of the words include: (easier ones like) me, in, as, a, but, I, go, ran, if, my, see, but, and, him, for, did, (harder ones like)said, with, some, ride, could, little, down, jump, play, under. So this could easily be adaptable if you are the one picking the pieces for them to read. (Or you could only put those cards in the box if you want them to choose.) You could play with several ages and only pick appropriate "level" words for each child, too. Again, well worth the money as it's fun, educational, and adaptable. So we'll get a full summer's worth of play (and more) out of this for sure!

One of the hardest things to do while trying to teach your child to read is keep his/her attention. Well this game offers the opportunity to do it. The little popcorns are cute and the box is exciting. The game LOOKS fun. I believe the instructions for the game are pretty straight up. You know, you pick one to read, and then he picks one to read. Whoever has the most when you get tired wins. Also, the instructions say that when a "POP" card is picked, the player loses all his cards. BAD IDEA. That will not make the game fun. Instead, when we find a "POP" card, everyone has to stand up and pop around the room like a popcorn. Now this makes reading the cards exciting. The normal player instructions are a little boring for my 4 year old, too. But throw in his noirsy trash truck that gets to haul off the popcorns he earns, and it becomes a blast for him. Add a few imaginary products (like pink elephants, dog paint, dust mite houses, whatever) that he can buy with his earned popcorn currency, and it gets even better. For an imaginary rabbit my son will read any card he can. Then he wants to read one to get the rabbit food, an imaginary collar, a rabbit hutch, and on and on. With this approach I get tired way before he does.My son is 4 and is reading 1st grade level with absolute ease. This is mostly because of starfall.com and morestarfall.com , but these cards help him with the words that can't be sounded out so easily. These words have to be memorized... like the word "please" and "who" and "where" and "the". Other words in the game are: big, run, ran, if, to, today, what, then, well, ride, see, little, do, this, into, now, and, went, could, on, no, said, pretty, at, my, is, there, fun, all, say, are, under, some, soon, be, he, that, it, a, and an. There are 100 words in all, I think. We generally only play with about 15 at any one time, so there is repetition so he can remember them. I recommend this game if you plan on playing WITH your child, and often. There is no way a kid can learn anything from these all by himself or with another child.
