One breath box - first 100 common words game

A fantastic resource for children who need to brush up on their knowledge of the first 100 common words.

Rules of the game:

• Cut the words into strips and place them in a box.
• One at a time children need to select a strip, take a HUGE deep breath and see how quickly they can read all of the words on the strip

Why not link this game to Maths and ask children to work in pairs, one child reading while another another child times their partner using a stop watch.

Easily adaptable for spelling words of the week and a simple and easy assessment tool.
