CREEPY CRAWLIES

module 5

SPELLING

1.Spelling can be fun!

Game 1: Word chains

  1. You can play this game in groups.
  2. One person begins by writing down a word. The next person must begin the next word with the last letter of the previous word, e.g.

Chewagoneverainbowestearacevilabel

  1. Can you circle your classroom with a word chain?

Game 2: Growing words

Begin with a one letter word, such as i, a or o. Make the word grow, by adding one letter at a time. Each time you must make a new word, e.g.

Table 1
a o
an do
ant nod
pant node
paint nodes
paints  

Challenge your friends to see how long a list they can make.

Game 3: Word-loop

  1. Decipher this word-loop. Read clockwise.
  2. All letters are to be used. Do not use words more than once.
  3. Sometimes small words may be found within bigger ones.

Game 4: Time Trials

  1. The challenge is: How many 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 syllable words, beginning with …, can you write down in 60 seconds:
  2. No dictionaries may be used. Break up into smaller groups to check each other’s words.
  3. Keep score, giving values to the words according to syllables / length.

Game 5: Scrambled Eggs

Just as all things are connected in this world, letters can be connected in so many different ways. Below are a bunch of eggs with a letter on each one. See how many words you can scramble up; but no jumping over the eggs!
