How To Play BANG!
Cut out all the first grade sight words. Then cut out as many Bang! cards as you would like to add. You can add all of them but if you keep pulling out Bang! cards and would rather pull out more sight cards, take some Bang! cards out.
Place the cut out cards in a tall, non-see through cup or a non-see through bag. Place a discard container of some sort (another cup or little basket) between the players.
You can play the game alone or with any number of players. If a player can’t read at all or can read very few of the first grade sight words, another player can help that player read the card.
Pull out a card and read it. Place it in front of you. Then pass the cup or bag and the next player pulls out a card and reads it. If you pull out a Bang!, you must put all of the cards in front of you and the Bang! card in the discard container. Then pass the cup. See who can collect the largest pile of words without getting a Bang!
You are welcome to modify the game any way you wish.

-number of letters in the word (a pile for one letter words, a pile for two letter words and so on)
-number of vowels in the word (one vowel, two vowels etc.)
-a pile for words that end in consonants and a pile for words that end in vowels
-words that have the letter “t” and words that don’t
-ANY SORT YOU CAN THINK OF!
