Dog sight word

To set up this cute Feed the Dog reading game, first assemble the paper cup “dog.” I had a black paper cup and chose to make him a Dalmatian. I cut ears and a white circle for a large spot from white paper.

Glue those pieces on, then add googly eyes. Next paint on a nose.

Using scissors, cut a slit under the nose and then cut out a small hole for the dog’s mouth. Finally, prep the “dog bones” by writing a letter or word on each wooden stick with a marker.

Sight word game

To play this game, have your child pick up a “bone” with a word on it. Have your child read it, and if done correctly… Feed the Dog!

Another way to play would be to call out a word and have your child sort through the bones to find the correct one, and then… Feed the Dog!

Play however you like, the point is to reinforce what your child is learning in a fun, hands-on way! Enjoy!
