Start by grabbing one of four colorful UFO slammers, each of which comes with a suction-cup base, and spreading out some of the set’s sight word cards across the table. After one of the sight words is called out, spot the card with the word on it, then slam down your UFO to capture and collect it. Like other swat-it games, the player with the most cards at the end of the round wins!

Every time they slam, kids build the vocabulary and word recognition skills they need to succeed at reading, spelling, and all sorts of language arts. The Slam Ships! Sight Words Game also grows with them: the set’s 110 double-sided sight word cards come in five different vocabulary levels that help children increase difficulty and introduce new concepts for a fun twist.
