Did your kiddo come home from school with a GIANT list of sight words to memorize this summer? Mine totally did. And nothing makes my kiddo give me that long-suffering sigh that kids specialize in more than a humongous list of black and white words in columns.

I am so thankful that our oldest is such strong reader (and he loves to read🤩🎉), but we are still putting in some practice this summer to make sure he doesn’t forget any of the basics. Since he is not a fan of reading all 120+ words from the list, I came up with a fun way to integrate his sight words into our #DinosaurWeek theme!

This activity was super simple to put together, especially when you download the free printable 😉. You can grab the Dinosaur Print FREE Printable HERE. You can grab the Sight Words FREE Printable HERE.

I printed the Dinosaur footprints onto colorful paper and the sight words onto plain white copy paper. I also opted to laminate the dinosaur prints because I have a feeling we will be using them for many things in our future!

One note on the sight words – I included the list of words from my son’s school, but the final page of sight words has 11 blank spots for you to add words your child is currently working on!

After you cut everything out, lay the dinosaur prints on the ground and use poster putty to adhere the sight words to the print. The poster putty is easy to use and move as you switch out the words on the prints.

Now, have fun experimenting with how to lay them out. You can lay them in a line and have your child stomp on each print while saying the sight words in a fun dinosaur voice…

… or set them in a semi-circle and make it a game – call out a word and have your child stomp on the correct one.

There are so many possibilities!

You can pick out the sight word opposites (like above)…

… or work on number words and counting….

… or even color words!

In case you missed it above – you can grab the Dinosaur Prints Printable HERE and the Sight Words Printable HERE.

There are so many ways to use these fun tools – I cannot wait to see what you come up with!

Happy Learning!
