Find the Apple Sight Word Practice

Here's a great idea that I ran across to review sight words.  The kids love playing this game!

I hid a red apple (pom pom) and a green apple (pom pom) under five cups with sight words written on them.  We would read the five sight words and then I would call on students to guess which cups the apples were under. 

Link to your blog and let me know how your practice sight words with your students.

Apples! Apples! Apples!

Apple Game:  Use red and green pompoms to put the correct number of apples on the apple tree.

Apple Worm Game:  Use the apples to practice counting to 20.  Have a student call out a number.  Turn the apple over and check if there is a worm under the apple.  Game is over when students find all three apples.

Apples!

Here's some of the apple work that we have been doing in kindergarten and first grade.  Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

I have apples with the numbers 1-20 on a pocket chart.  I hide a worm behind three of the apples.  Every day we count to 20 using the apples and then I call on students to guess which number the worm is hiding behind.  It is really good for number recognition to 20.
I found the idea on the Kindergarten Kindergarten website.

Here is a great apple counting mat that I use with red and green pom-poms.  I can't remember where I downloaded the mats from, but you could probably make your own.  Let me know if you know where they came from and I will link to the proper website

We Love Apples

I got the idea for this song from one of The Mailbox Magazine issues.
The song goes to the tune of "Clementine".
               We love apples, juicy apples.
               They are red and very sweet.
               Let's go pick them from the big trees.
               They are such a tasty treat!
I drew trees at the bottom, then I put a number on each tree and
had the kids come up and put the right number of apples on each
tree.
