Sight Word Rocks

Sight Word Rocks Pre-Reading Activity For Preschool and Kindergarten
The weather here is finally warm enough to set up outdoor learning centers. For one of the centers I set up a sight word activity for the children to do.  I purchased river rocks from Menards (most home improvement stores will have them) and painted them with black paint.

I painted the top of the rocks only as I liked the look of the having the natural rocks for the children to feel and explore.  Once the paint had dried I took a sharpie oil based medium tip paint pen and wrote sight words on each rock. I also made sure I made two rocks with the same sight words.

I put the rocks in baskets and the children pick out a rock and if they could read what was on the rock they kept the rock out of the basket.  If they could not read the sight word they put the rock back in the basket.  This can be done as an individual or group activity.

The children also did a sight word match by finding the two rocks with the same sight word.  This activity was easy to set up (which I love) and the children really enjoyed working with the rocks.

I really like this idea. There are many possible ways to use the rocks. Thanks for showing the kind or paint and marker you used in the video. I really appreciate you dedication to working with young children.
