Literacy Center Activities: Sight Word Sundaes!

Looking for a fun way to review sight words this summer? Try having your kinders construct sight word “ice cream” sundaes! The activity is super simple to put together and will definitely compliment your summer themed literacy centers!

Sight Word Literacy Center Kindergarten Lesson Plan

  1. We used a template {available for download below}, along with construction paper in various “ice cream” colors {i.e. pink, tan, white, brown, mint green, etc} and word processing software, to create sundae bowls labeled with focus sight words, as well as scoops of ice cream displaying the individual letters found in the chosen sight words {along with a few not found in the various words to make the exercise more challenging}.

  3. Armed with the bowl and scoop cutouts, invite your kinders to “build” the selected sight words {and a colorful “ice cream” sundae!} by matching the mixed up letter scoops to the words on the bowls.
