Freebie Friday! Let's Go Fishing!

Who remembers this game?? I found this one at our local thrift store and knew my Kinders would love it! I simply added some sight words to the fish, provided them a 1 minute timer, and created a recording sheet.........instant sight word center!! Check them out!

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!!
