About This Lesson
A fun way to teach the Dolch Sight words/Grade 1. Word game to help special needs students learn the Dolch sight vocabulary. High interest by using Knights and Monsters.
This game is meant as a review for the Dolch grade one sight words. The student lays their knights on the battlefield with the words facing down. The teacher or tutor lays the monsters on the battlefield. Some monsters require one knight to defeat them and some monsters require 2 or 3 knights to defeat them.
Battles: The teacher or tutor puts one monster onto the battlefield. The child puts the required number of knights onto the battlefield to defeat the monster. Then the child flips up the knights to see what words are there. If the child recognizes the words and can say them, the knights are victorious. If not, the monster is victorious. In battles with monsters that require more than 1 knight to defeat them, it’s all or none. That is, all the knights must be victorious or they all perish!
