If you read my last post, I said something about Have Fun Teaching organizing their resources not only by subject area, but also by grade level. I’d like to highlight a kindergarten resource now. This activity requires students to circle pictures that are blue. I might put this up on a smartboard, computer screen, or some sort of projector, and then give the students a B&W version to save on ink. Then, once all the words are read describing the pictures, have them color only the blue ones. Then, the blue are all they see! Repeat with other colors to make a color book.

Enhance writing power in time for standardized testing with synonyms and their EVIL cousin, antonyms.

Make little paper tombstones and write the dead word on it. Retire more and more words as weeks go on, so students have to think of newer ones! Practice with this worksheet on synonyms.

Not only is the word syllable fun to say, you can also very easily add clapping as a kinesthetic element to lessons with it. Clap, stomp your feet, or pound your desk for each syllable. Try out some worksheets on syllables instead. Drawing lines between syllables, clapping for syllables, or any other number of techniques that help students learn to chunk their letters into standard phonemes are great things. Mix in a little motion and music to this lesson and watch your students smile as they learn.

Nothing says back to school for the little ones like mastering sight word lists. I can think of a few good uses for these with ESOL students, too. With all the focus on low reading scores and esol students, mastering theseis tantamount to reading fluency success. Practice them with your students with these worksheets. Other ideas include putting these in clear file so they can tally mark each time they see one of the words in a story or reading passage. You could also use one as the crazy word of the day. When someone says it or read it aloud, everyone does a specific cheer!
