Luke has been getting anxious watching me make preparations for the upcoming year. He is much more excited about the things I am making for third grade (now that he is in first) than he ever was when I was making 7th grade math things. Pre-algebra doesn't have the same cuteness factor I suppose. LOL!
Not wanting to leave him out, I printed out these popcorn sight words on yellow card stock and made a fun game to practice his sight words.
We cut them up and put them in a sand bucket because we couldn't find the popcorn container that I had bought last year at Target (it is probably in someone's toy box). You put the cards in and then take turns pulling them out and reading the word - BUT... if you pull out the POP you have to put all of your cards back in the bucket. We set a timer on my iphone to determine the winner. He loved it!
I had forgotten that I had made this game awhile ago hoping to play it with him, but I was glad I found it because now my wheels are spinning with ways that I could change it up for third graders.

Any other thoughts or ideas?
