Flamingo Fluency

Have you been on the lookout for an engaging fluency activity?  This activity is so versatile, it can be used in small group instruction, with parent volunteers, and even as an early finisher activity.  This darling game will get your kids reading the first 100 fry words in phrase form, instead of single words. This helps tie sight words into reading fluency.

How to play:

Have the students sit in a circle and place the game cards in a basket/bag. They take turns choosing a card. If they read the phrase correctly, they keep the card. There are also surprise direction cards like "Flip Flap, put your cards back!" And "Superstar: Read Four (phrases)Fast" to keep the students actively engaged. After the students read the "superstar" card they get to wear star shaped glasses and be the superstar until another player earns them.  I even added in a big necklace and some superhero glasses as choices for the "superstar".

If you loved this game, but need some simpler versions for beginning readers check out my Dolch word versions of the game.  This is a great way to differentiate for different reading levels within your class.
