Jump into high-frequency and sight word action with Kangaroo Cravings
Jump into action with this interactive high-frequency word game, Kangaroo Cravings! This bright and colorful game board allows students to play competitively or cooperatively to beat the Racoon and race to reach the pizza before he does!
The game consists of 3 card decks of high-frequency, sight words that offer different tiers of mastery. Each card provides a written word with color coding to indicate regular and irregular spelling patterns and a Kangaroo, multisensory action in which to engage in. Students will be asked to…
-Write the word with their “tail”
-Jump it out
-Write it with their nose
-Stomp it out
-Trace it
-Arm tap it
-Count it on their fingers
-Table write it
-Sky write it
High-frequency sight words are words kids encounter frequently in text. It is essential to learn these words and read them with accuracy and automaticity. These types of words include words that are regular, meaning they follow sound-spelling patterns and those that are irregular, which follow uncommon sound-spelling patterns. Empowering kiddos with sight word knowledge improves their fluency and comprehension.
Because the word cards of this fun game are multisensory, they provide the opportunity for ample repetition and mapping out the words in unique ways with the goal of storing them in long term memory!
Playing this game with my students, we had a blast reading and spelling these words. Of course I often had to write the word with my “tail” which was super funny to do with the kids! This game also offers modifications for students to differentiate the word learning.
Clever Noodle was created by a mom, whose son was struggling in reading. She discovered that games provided a fun, physical engagement to improve her son’s mastery of high-frequency and sight words.
The literacy game offerings of Clever Noodle stand firmly behind the science of reading and the five pillars of reading which include phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. I highly recommend this engaging and entertaining game to practice and reinforce lively word recognition with children!
