Last week, I shared my review of Life of Fred Early Readers. As we work with this fabulous reading resource, I have modified some of the sight words games and activities previously shared on Busy Boys Brigade. I share these modifications with you to demonstrate the various ways these affordable readers can be used to rock your homeschool!

6 Learning Activities for Fun Learning with Life of Fred Early Readers

Treasure Hunt: Smiley and Bear have been practicing their sight words with a treasure hunt game and printable (to check it out and get your free printable, click here). I simply modified this game to include words from the Life of Fred Early Reader book that each boy is using.
Tic Tac Toe: This easy, DIY game has been a huge hit with my boys! I used felt that we had in our arts & crafts storage. We have also used paper and foam sheets. Again, I select words from the Life of Fred Early Readers books that each boy is currently using. You can learn more about this activity by clicking here.

Twister: We play a modified version of Twister for a variety of educational concepts. To use to extend our learning with Life of Fred Early Readers, I select and write words from the books the boys are working on. Check out our fun with this activity here.
Hopscotch: Here is another movement activity that my boys love to use in our homeschool! Words are chosen from their Life of Fred Early Readers and used to practice reading-and get some exercise! Get more information about how we use hopscotch in our homeschool here.
