I'm planning our Reading Night which will take place in a few weeks. We're having Guest Readers, a Book Walk, a Book Exchange, Art activities, Word Games (Boggle, Scrabble, etc.), Character Costume Contest, and Teacher Role Plays. This is our first Reading Night, so we're sort of dipping our toe in gently. The Role Plays will be phenomenal! They will be a big draw, so i'm posting "show" times for them, trying to cut down on people coming/going in mid-performance.
To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
Oh--cake walk. You have a circle with numbers on the floor. The participants stand on the numbers, play music, when it stops draw a number and they are the winner.
Our reading night is this week. Our library bookfair is also going on. We have guest readers scheduled every 10-15 minutes and a bookmark making station, mad libs about our shcool, compound word races, story making with large paper and ellison machne cut outs plus boogle, scrabble, scrabble jr...
If you're looking for games that are reading, phonics, phonemic awareness related, you're best source is your teachers. I know at our school, every teacher has to have literacy centers while we teach in small groups. Those literacy centers are just games that the kids can play in their own small groups, but still learn reading skills. Also, many of the games are small and easy to put together/make so they are portable.
