Looney Spoons!

1 to 2 of 2

 
Oct. 13

This game can be adapted to be played in multiple grade levels.

For every letter sound, or vocabulary word your students need to learn, you'll need a plastic spoon.

Write one letter or vocab word per spoon. You can have as many or as few as you'd like, however, I'd recommend having at least 25-30 target words/letters. For every 25-30 spoons, you need to create one looney spoon. A looney spoon is a spoon that says "Looney Spoon" on it.

To play the game, put all of your spoons in a non-seethough bucket. Have your students sit in a circle, and have them take turns picking a spoon from the bucket without looking. Once the student draws the spoon, they have to read the word/letter on the spoon.

If they read it correctly, they get to keep the spoon. If they guess incorrectly, the spoon goes back into the bucket. If a student draws a looney spoon, that and all of their collected spoons must be put back in the bucket!

I use this for the students in my intervention groups because it's a fun way to practice their sight words!!

What a great game! This is perfect for sightwords. It would work for math facts (and probably a zillion other things) as well.
