Seriously.. how could I have taught 10 years and not thought of this?
We teach our kids motions for everything else… why not Sight Words?
Let me tell you… IT WORKS!
My kids are saying these words on their own in centers and using them more appropriately in writing!
And every time they do, they do the motion.. it makes me cry!
So here is about 20 words as a freebie! I promise to add more as I go!

Jennifer,
Thanks for the freebie. I was fortunate to have a cooperating teacher during student teaching who encouraged this practice in the 5th grade ESL class and even for the gen ed classes. Great technique.
