Great game but I changed it a bit at home
This is a great game idea but I did make a couple of changes to the rules so my five-year-old son doesn't get frustrated. First, along with the box of words I have a glass jar full of colorful M&M's. At the end of the game everyone adds up how many sight words they got correct and they get to pull out that many M&M's out of the jar to eat. This makes it a much more appealing game to my son as he's smart enough to know that this is really just a way to do "homework". Second, besides all of the sight word cards there are cards in the box that say POP on them. If you pull one of those out it's a negative thing and means you lose all the points you have earned up to that part of the game. Not the greatest idea for small kids. Because I knew that could make my kiddo really upset I changed the rule so that when anyone pulled out a POP card everyone gets to take one M&M out of the jar and "POP" it into their mouth right then. Now it's exciting to pull out a POP card. I know it's important to teach kids that there are always winners and losers in a game but I wanted this one to be all positive so he would really want to learn those words! I am excited to have a way to work on sight words with my kindergartner and reward him at the same time.
