## Description

Transform sight word practice into an intergalactic adventure with this action-packed educational game designed for children who love hands-on, competitive activities. When kids resist traditional reading practice or struggle with focus during learning time, this kinesthetic approach re-energizes their motivation. The comprehensive set includes 220 carefully selected Dolch sight words printed on robust, double-sided circular cards. Each difficulty level is clearly marked with distinct colors, enabling seamless progression from beginner to advanced vocabulary. Four durable plastic swatters ensure multiple players can participate simultaneously. This versatile teaching tool adapts to various learning environments including homes, classrooms, tutoring centers, and therapy offices. Use it for spelling practice, reading fluency development, or vocabulary reinforcement during literacy centers, intervention sessions, or family learning time. The competitive format particularly benefits active learners and children with attention challenges who struggle with traditional flashcard methods. Teachers appreciate the organizational system that supports differentiated instruction, while parents love how it eliminates homework battles. Whether used during structured lessons or informal practice sessions, this engaging game successfully bridges the gap between entertainment and education, creating positive associations with learning that encourage continued growth.

Review: Great game for early readers. Several stages and good to practice sight words. A fun game!
Review: I was tossing up between this sight word game and the fly swat one… and I wish I’d chosen the other one. The pieces are so hard to get off the UFO that they bend or literally break in half. We played it once and i how have to glue 4 pieces back together. They should be made of plastic not cardboard :(

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How well does this play for one child?**
A: Hi there! Thank you for your question, we've had good feedback for this game as a one player game.
For a one-player game, pick a level and lay out the cards. Call out as many words as possible in 10 seconds.

**Q: What are the sight words?**
A: The game includes 110 double sided discs that have a total of 220 sight words. The discs are color coded from pre-primer words to third grade words. I taught kindergarten for many years and the words appear to match the basic 220 words that we encouraged our kindergarten students to learn.
