Sight Word Games to Play Outdoors

The snow has melted (well, for those of you that had snow anyway) and the sun is shining! It’s time to head outdoors and move and learn. I found lots of fun sight word games that are perfect to play outside–a great way to get some fresh air and learn at the same time!
