I chose some words that I knew would be easy for my son.Dolch sight words are high-frequency words that are often thought to be best to teach children to read by memorization, not through decoding (sounding out/using other clues like context ). You will need some sentence strips, a marker, scissors and a list of about 20 Dolch sight words. After you read this one make sure you check it out. I wish I could take all the credit for this idea, but it’s a spin-off from our contributing writer Kim’s amazing letter dominoes post from last year. I set this sight word game up quickly and had it all ready for him before he got home. Making learning a game is my magic trick for my son who is possibly the world’s most competitive six year old. More so if you liked the anime.Learning after school is something we try to do most days, but we keep it fun. On a closing note, Speed Racer - The Great Plan is by all means something you have to try at least once. Just as you get a handle on the car and start to catch up, the race ends, but it’s fun. Depending on your predicament, you can use the grip tires, cutter blades, deflector, illumination, frogger mode and the dreaded homing robot to take out opponents.Īnother thing that might not please is the fact that a race is way too short. The Mach 5 in the game is the same car you enjoyed in the anime series and of course, it has all the same crazy and creative features that made it unique. Use the same contraptions from the show to win the race On the downside, its graphics aren’t the best, there are a few glitches here and there but looking at the larger picture, they’re actually not all that bad. Controls are simple, and the car is gifted with really good handling, it uses lines from the show to give it a good sense of personality and above all, it’s really fun to play. Smooth, simple and fun gameplayįor a racing game Speed Racer - The Great Plan checks the list on almost all the major points. It has all the right flavor to make it a nice replica and it even comes with voiceovers that were extracted from the original show. Speed Racer - The Great Plan is an attempt, and a rather successful one at that, to create a short but good racing game that’s based on the Speed Racer anime.
