Kindergarten Popcorn High Frequency Words Activity Freebie

 

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.

****To know what actions that I use, you can google sight word actions.  You should be able to pull up different actions that you can use for your high frequency words. ****

Here is some more detailed information on how to use this activity.

This packet comes with:

9 High Frequency Words on popcorns
9 High Frequency Words on popcorn containers
Popcorn High Frequency Words Writing Page
Take Home Word Cards

                

                

  Ideas on how to use the Popcorn High Frequency Word Cards:

1. You can play Go Fish or Memory
2. Hide the cards around the room and have students find them.
3. Hide the cards around your classroom.  Have students write them into the sight words writing page.
4. You can play games like mingle or 2 circles.
5. Match popcorns to their containers.

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

1. Hide words around the classroom and have students write the words into the popcorn.  Once all of the popcorn has a word in it then the writing page is complete.
2. You can have students use the word wall and write words into the popcorns.
3. Once words have been written into the popcorns, students can go back and rewrite them in a different color.  They can rewrite the words a few times so it will look like a rainbow.

Ideas on how to use the Take Home Word Cards:

I created these cards so that parents can have the opportunity to work with their children at home with their high frequency words. 

This product has 9 high frequency words from Literacy First, List A.

This product comes in color and black and white.

This activity compliments my School Years Daily Calendar Journal.  I tell my students that popcorn words are words that pop up everywhere.  We write the words down each day on the daily calendar journal. 

I also use the popcorn words as my password.  Before entering or leaving my classroom, my students have to tell me the password.  My students love the opportunity to tell me the popcorn word.  Check out my Password Product that compliments this activity.

 

My main goal is to have students actively with their peers while learn their high frequency words.
