To play the game:

Print and cut out cards. Shuffle and mix the cards and place them in a stack. Pass out five cards to each player. If you get a pair of cards that match in your hand then you can set them down on your turn. The players will take turns asking for sight word cards that they need to make a pair. For example a player would say to another player, “do you have the card THEM” and if the player has that card they would need to give it to the person asking. The person would set down their pair of matching cards in front of them. They would get another turn. The person who gave up a card needs to draw another card from the stack. If you ask for a card and the person you are asking does not have that word card, they will say to you “No, Go Fish” which means you need to draw a card from the pile and then play continues to the next player. When a player does not have any cards left in their hand, the game is over, and whoever had the most pairs wins the game.
