Here are a couple of ideas to use during group work. I am going to try doing these next year. These activities can help with sight words and/ or spelling.
The first activity is placing sand in a crayon box where the students can practice writing their words in the sand. I think the students would enjoy doing this. However, it could be messy! Here is the link for this activity. This site has a variety of ideas to use with practicing sight words if you do not want to try this one.

The next activity is also for practicing sight words. For this you will need to provide students with letter beads and pipe cleaners. The students can spell their words by placing the beads on the pipe cleaners. You can write the sight words on a jumbo craft stick for them to use when spelling the words. Here is the link for this activity.

I have done something similar to writing in sand, but I have used salt. I have some plastic trays from science kits that I pour it on. The kids like this. It can get messy but usually the students do a nice job keeping the salt on the trays.
