Have the students either line up against the wall or stand in a circle so they are shoulder to shoulder. Choose where your starting point is and give the first child a spelling word. They say the first letter of the word, the next child says the next letter, and so on and so on until the last letter is reached. After the last letter is reached, the next child says SPARKLE and then the next child has to sit down. If a letter is missed the student has to sit down and I start the word again with the next student. After someone says SPARKLE and the next child sits down, I start a new word. Continue the game until you are down to one child. I tell them "no repeats" so they have to pay attention.Saturday, February 13, 2010
Game - Sparkle Spelling
Fun spelling game to try. Iv'e used with third grade and up and SOME second grade classes. It can be a good behavior incentive too.
