Do you need a fun way for your students to interact with high frequency words?  I created a popcorn themed high frequency words activities. 

I like to use this activity during calendar time.  When I show my students the popcorn words, I have them pop up like popcorn and say the word.  I tell my students we learn these words because they will pop up anywhere and it's important to know them.  My students love getting to pop up.

Another thing I do is use actions when going over high frequency words.  I have different actions that I use everyday.  I write those actions down on a popsicle sticks.  I will then pick a popsicle stick and have students complete one of the actions.  Once I pick an action, I have students complete it while saying the word.  It makes learning high frequency words so much more fun.

Ideas on how to use the Popcorn Tic-Tac-Toe Page:
There are two different types of tic-tac-toe pages.  The first page has only one tic-tac-toe on it.  I created this to help students that would get overwhelmed with more than one on a page.  The second page has four tic-tac-toes on it.  Have students write words from the word wall into the popcorns and then have them find those popcorn word cards.  Place the popcorn words into a pile.  The first student turns over a card and finds the word on the tic-tac-toe board and colors the popcorn.  The second student turns over a card and finds the word and colors it.  This continues until all of the words have been found.  Whichever student that has 3 of the same color popcorns in a row wins. 

Ideas on how to use the Popcorn Spin the High Frequency Words Page:

 Video Ideas and Books that Teach AI and AY:

-I wrote down videos that cover AI and AY.  I also wrote down books that you can read that will help emphasize on AI and AY.

 Here is an example on how to use this activity: I play several games with word cards as a whole group.  The main games that I play that my students love is mingle and 2 circle game.  Mingle is where you give each student a card.  You start the game by saying “mingle”.  Students will walk around the room until you say stop.  When you say stop, students are to find the closest person to them to partner up with.  They read their card to them and then switch cards.  I repeat this game until students lose interest.  The 2 circle game is where I have students get into 2 circles (an inner and outer circle).  When they get into their circle they make sure that they have a partner that faces them.  Students read their card to their partner and switch cards.  Then I have the inner circle move to the right one time.  Continue to do this until students have made a complete circle.  You can also give each student a picture or a word card.  Then have them find its match.
