Dolch words - swat the fly activity

This is an activity that reinforces the recognition of high frequency sight words.

Display a selection of the flies (on a board, on the floor, hanging, etc). Say a word. Your student(s) must find the fly with that word written on it, and swat it with a fly swatter. So much fun! You will need to provide the fly swat.

Included:
♦ 315 coloured flies
♦ 315 black/white flies
♦ Blank templates (coloured and black/white)

315 Words:
♦ 220 Dolch words in frequency order
♦ 95 Dolch nouns in alphabetical order

A solid background colour is used on the 220 words (9 different colours). A greenish/white stripe colour has been used on the nouns to differentiate them from the main list of words. See images for examples.

The font used is ‘NZ Basic Script’.
Made on A4 size paper.
9 flies per sheet of paper.
