Free Printable Sight Word Games: Halloween
I have included two game boards in the pdf file. One pumpkin board has some preschool dolch sight words and the other one is blank so you can add your own words.
- You can print on regular paper or on card stock if you want it to last longer (this is the cardstock that we recommend)
- Print pumpkin boards and one card deck. Free Printable Sight Word Game for Halloween<<<<<<click link to download
- Carefully cut the card deck into squares. I use this slick paper cutter because it makes nice straight lines which I don’t get with scissors.
Play Your Halloween Sight Word Game
This game is very easy to play. It is set up as a fun way to play with words so there is no winner.
If you want to play competitively, you can keep track of how many words each person gets right. The winner is the one with the most correct words at the end.
- Decide who goes first.
- Put your markers on the pumpkin stem. You can use pumpkin seeds or even LEGO minifigs as your markers.
- Draw a card and follow the directions.
- Go clockwise around the pumpkin board.
- Go around however many times you decide on or just go around once depending on the interest of the child.
Enjoy the game!
