Easter Eggs

Inspiration: Easter eggs

Target Goal: Reading kindergarten sight words

Age: 3 years and up

Supplies:

Plastic Easter eggs

Scissors (decorative edge if desired)

Colorful paper

Marker/pen

1)  Write the words on the paper with enough space to be cut out in 1x2 inch rectangles.  See list below for sight words.  Sight words are the words that children should be able to read based on kindergarten curriculum standards.  

2) Cut the words out and place them in the plastic eggs.  If desired, add candy and/or treats to the eggs. 

3) Hide the eggs.  When the children find the eggs practice reading the words with them out loud.

Modification:

If your child is not reading words yet put paper with a single letter of the alphabet in the egg and practice naming the letters and the corresponding sound. For example, letter A sound "ahhh"

Enjoy!
