how can I teach dd reception frequently used words in a fun way?

[Glassofwine]

Just a follow on from the what are the words thread. I've got them now, any ideas on how to use them without it feeling like work for dd. Games?

snap?

my mother made a game of word bingo

you could make flash cards up, 2 of each word and let dd write one of them - match up with them facing, find the pairs, look and say , say a word and she finds it
lots of variation
a white board is good too

silly sentences

Try and make sentences with the words.
Put them on card and use them as flash cards.
How about a word search.
How old is she ?

Oooo, sounds like something that might be interesting for me and dd to look at... how do you know what the words are?

reception children have 45 - they are classes as most commonly used words in print - so it's not words like hat sat mat ect
its more like
a am
my you up the when etc etc etc

Wow - that was quick and by the way Twiglett - thanks for providing the words.

have typed them up and printed off a set so I can make them into cards. Looks like maybe I need two sets.

DD is 5 in Jan, have just had a parents eve with her teacher, who is happy with her no problems at all, but I haven't done much with her at home and remembered dd1 having these words when she was in reception, so I thought it would be something we could do together. Being the middle child she loves a bit of one to one and is enjoying trying to catch up with her older sister, so I want to encourage her as much as poss.

Mascara - have a look in Education topic there's a thread there with the words on.

GOW, if you have typed up a copy would you mind emailing a copy to me (sorry if that's cheeky!) mascaraohara at hotmail dot co dot uk

I'm assuming that the list is common through all reception classes?? I didn't even know this list existed

oops posts x'd will have a look, thanks...

fridge dash
we have fridge magnets and i time how long he takes to find them

lucky dip
child picks a word amd reads it
i picj a wird and read it

silly mummy
as above but when it is my turn i get it deliberateky wrong and he corrects me

match it
reading reading book
get relevant key words ab=nd place them over words in the book

zap it
key words printed on own personal grid
throw a dice 0 if you get a bigger number than three, yo can pick a key word (either of your choice or at random) then place it on your own grid
when all wirds are used, the person with the most is the winner
