- Take turns drawing out the sight word cards from the can and trying to read them.
- If you can read the word within 5 seconds, you get to keep the card. If you can't, your partner tries reading it, and if he/she reads it correctly he/she gets to keep the card.
- If neither of you geet it right, the card goes into the "Don't Know It, Yet" pile on the floor.
- When a Bang! card is pulled out of the can the student who drew it has to return all their cards to the can. The Bang! card is placed in a separate pile on the floor table .
