Word Wheel

What You Will Need
Construction paper
Laminating paper
Multi-purpose paper
Fastener
Pencil or Pen
Scissors
Round Lid


First, I laminated two pieces of construction paper for the front and back of my word wheel. Then I used a round lid to trace a circle on both pieces of paper.(I used a lid from a tupperware bowl but a cereal bowl would work as well.)


 I then cut a small hole in the circle that would be the front of my word wheel.


I also cut out white circles of the same size to write the sight words on. I used pencil, so I could erase the words as my son learned them and add new words. But you can use permanent marker and laminate all the circles. 

     
Finally, I used a fastener to connect all the circles. Now my son can spin the wheel and learn new words. He's obsessed with basketball, so on his I drew lines to make it look like a basketball vs. a wheel.

Happy Learning!
