Finding playful ways to incorporate learning and fun in the summer is important! As we kick of summer, here is one way with a summer sight word game to catch their attention using a childhood favorite… SEA SHELLS! 

Summer Sight Words with Sea Shells

We look for summer camps that kids love but still look at what they will take away from the camps as far as learning new skills, too. One focus that we want kids to keep is their language development and reading abilities.

Sea Shells Summer Sight Word Game

  • Sea Shells
  • Scrapbook Paper
  • Sharpie Marker
  • Cloud dough or Kinetic Sand
  • Plastic Bin

Summer Sight Word Game Game Directions

To create, first gather some sea shells from the beach or even at your local craft store Or grab some Sea Shells on Amazon. You will need at least 26 shells for each letter. Now it’s time to research the words our child should be working on.

Here’s a list of Dolch Words or Fry Words for each grade level from Kindergarten to Third Grade.

Use the words that your child should be working on and write them down on a sheet of paper with your child. 

Here’s a blank circle template for printing.  Then attach the circles to a few funs pieces of scrapbook paper to make it colorful.

Next take the seashells and add with your Sharpie Marker all of the letters of the alphabet onto each shell.  Put the shells in a fun container.  We added ours to some colorful cloud dough we created recently. 

Sand would be fun too to use in the container.
