Copy the words onto index cards and store them in a sandwich bag or small envelope. You can do many things with the index cards:
-
Cut between each letter to make word puzzles.
-
Make a second set of index cards and play concentration.
-
Arrange the cards on the floor. Toss a bean, a penny, or a small beanbag, and read the word it lands on.
-
Sort the cards by the first vowel in the words.
-
Write the words in fun ways:
-
Write in shaving cream on the table or on a cookie sheet.
-
Use a paintbrush or small sponge and water on a tabletop, and watch it evaporate.
-
Put pudding in a zipper bag (or double bag for extra security) and use a finger to write.
-
Write with sidewalk chalk on the sidewalk or driveway.
-
Cut letters from sandpaper, and use the letters to build words. You can use a finger to trace the letters, or use the side of a crayon to make a rubbing of the word.
-
Use letter magnets to make the words.
-
Put the words in ABC order.
-
Search for the words in a book, and write them on a sticky note each time you find them.
-
Use a magazine or newspaper. You can cut out the words, or cut out individual letters and glue them on a piece of paper.

Type the words on a computer. Use different fonts, colors and sizes.
