Are you looking for a fun way to practice vocabulary or build fluency and accuracy by practicing sight words? Try this fist-bump activity.
For sight word practice:
Post two or three of these forms on your door with sight words students need to master. As they enter or exit the classroom, they read the words and fist-bump the pictures. It is a fun way to provide added practice, and helps with the accuracy strategy Recognize High-Frequency Words on Sight.
For vocabulary practice:
Instead of sight words, record content vocabulary or rich words discovered during read-alouds. Students fist-bump and give the definition or use the word in a sentence.
