We've gotten hooked onto Pokemon Go. I kept holding off on the app, but once my husband showed my son.... he fell in love with the little critters, especially Pikachu. Pikachu was always my favorite too, so it was neat to share that with him. We recently made this super easy origami pikachu together. (Oh yes! Another paper folding craft!) It was such a fun kids craft that I'm sharing the step-by-step folding directions over here! How to Fold an Origami Pikachu This post contains affiliate links. Thank you so much for the grocery money! For my full disclosure policy, please click here. (And yes. These instructions are so easy that even an almost 5 year old can make it!) Four disclaimers before we start: 1) I found these directions over here for Pikachu's face. I added my own spin by adding a set of directions for the body. Both sets of directions are super simple! 2) I don't use yellow paper in the directions. Why? Well... because I also made an Origami Yoda! 3) If you would prefer to see video instructions, check out my friend Maggy over at Red Ted Art. She's got a great video Pikachu Origami tutorial. 4) Don't stop with this craft! Check out this adorably awesome 3D Perler Bead Pikachu and Squirtle Craft.

Then grab your left side and fold your paper up. Then fold down your top pointy bit. 4. Flip your face over and add details with Sharpie Markers. Let's Fold an Origami Pikachu's Body! 1. Fold your paper in half. 2. Fold your paper in half again. 3 and 4. Place your hand into the opening and push down to create a triangle. 5. Flip your paper over. 6. Place your fingers into the opening. 7. And then push down again to create a triangle. 8. Fold down both corners so they meet in the middle. 9. Flip pit over and do the same to the other side. Then, just tape the top and bottom together! They're so, so, cute. Seriously. And, they stand too. What? Oh yeah. My son got a kick out of that. Pika! Pika! (Happy making, friends!) Psst- If you liked this post, you might also like making your own Origami Yoda!

I really don't love practicing sight words with my students. I mean, it just gets tedious. And when we go over a word 100 times and the 101st time they say the wrong word, I cry a little inside. I decided to really take my sight word practice to a whole new level. A few of my reading groups really needed to learn a certain 5 words ASAP because I was sick of them missing it on their running record. So, I whipped these games up today and we played them like champions. In our PE closet we have these bowling pins! I pulled them out and taped the sight words to them. I had one student come up at a time and I called out a sight word. Then, they had to roll the ball and try to hit the pin with the sight word on it. They LOVED it. This is an oldie, but certainly a goodie. Not only do we swat all the flies in our classroom (for real, we had like 5 in our room today), but when I call out a sight word, the two students with the swatters try to swat the word first. Do you have any pool noodles around your house or perhaps you picked some up at the Dollar Tree in the summer? I cut one in half and gave one to 2 of my students. I called out the sight word and they "jabbed" it with their noodle. No students were hurt in the playing of this sight word game. I have this stylus that I use for my iPad and it has a laser pointer on the end of it. You'd think that my students are more like cats because they love to chase the laser pointer all around the room. ;) But really, I call out the sight word and they point the laser to the right word. It's a favorite for sure.
