The children listen as the teacher calls out a sight word. They must find the balloon/fish on their worksheet that contains the sight word (see literacy station downloadable materials for Unit 8). Having located the correct balloon/fish, the children can colour it in. Encourage more able children to be the teacher and call out the word for the children to locate.
