Make sight word practice fun this October with these Halloween themed board games. Students build fluency with words from the Dolch Pre-Primer and Primer lists by rolling a die, moving a marker, and reading the word on each space. This playful routine turns review into an engaging literacy center, guided reading warm-up, or festive small-group activity.
What’s Included
- 8 printable game boards (4 Pre-Primer, 4 Primer). Each board prints on two 8.5" × 11" pages; laminate and tape for durability.
- High-frequency coverage: 40 Pre-Primer words and 51 Primer words featured across the paths.
- Game markers ready to print and cut.
- Teacher directions for quick setup and smooth play. Dice not included.
