Create popcorn-themed BINGO cards for your class's popcorn words as an entertaining activity that reinforces your vocabulary practice. Help each kindergartner cut out a popcorn-shaped BINGO card and write approximately five words under each letter in BINGO. Let the kids pick their own words from the list so each card is unique. Pass out pieces of popcorn to use as markers and start calling out your popcorn words. First kindergartner to get five in a row calls BINGO and wins.
Fill a box or can with beginning reader and popcorn words written on popcorn-shaped cards. Pass the container around the circle, letting each kindergarten student choose and read a card during their turn. Kindergartners who choose a popcorn word should jump up and say "Pop!" after their reading.
Give kindergarten students a sheet covered in popcorn words mixed with other beginning reader words. Instruct them to add "butter" to the popcorn words by coloring them yellow with markers or crayons.
Write the popcorn words on your blackboard or whiteboard and dim the classroom lights as dark as you safely can. Have students form teams or line up to take turns. On their turn, kindergartners receive a flashlight and try to "tag" the word on the blackboard that you call out. Continue taking turns, letting teams compete if desired.
Write popcorn words on popcorn-shaped cards and scatter around the floor. Give each child in your class a word to look for and, when you say go, tell kindergartners to "pop" over to their word as quickly as they can. Split the class into smaller groups so you don't end up with kindergartners pushing and shoving as they try to get to their words.
Write popcorn words on the board and have kindergartners take turns running to the board to erase the word you call out. This activity can be done as a competition between teams if desired.
Draw a hopscotch board with marker on a plastic shower curtain or with chalk outside. Write a popcorn word in each hopscotch space instead of a number. Give a student a bean bag to throw onto the hopscotch board and have them read it aloud. Let them hop across the hopscotch board, skipping the spot with the word they read.
