Kindergarten Learning Games

There are many great Kindergarten Learning Games to play with your children.  Since it is summer, I am working on coming up with some Kindergarten Learning Games to reinforce what my son learned during the year in Kindergarten.  As part of the learning to read process children are taught different site words.  These are introduced through out the year in kindergarten (of course sometimes earlier as well).  At the end of this year my son had been exposed to 30 site words.  I want to reinforce these throughout the summer.  I created a matching game to help him work on these words while having fun.

Site Words Matching Game:

• Print out the sheet of site words 2 times onto card stock, then cut them.
• Use them like a deck of cards and shuffle them up.
• Place them with the word side down.
• Each person gets to flip over two cards per turn.
• If you get a pair on your turn you get to keep it.
• When you flip over the word say the word.  Your child might need some help with sounding out the word at first if they are not familiar with it.
• Play until all the matches are made.
• If you want there to be a winner, then the person with the most matches wins.

You can also incorporate this list of site words into regular games you might like to play like Caribou, Zingo, or Candy land.  Before each turn you pick a word to read, then take your turn.
