Hopefully, if you’re continuing with your spelling list each week, you’ve checked out the great websites under the SPELLING tab above that make practice a little more fun! Below are some more ideas, many may be the same as in the websites, that I’ve found fun in the classroom and I think will be fun with your family!
~ Write down your words and then think of a word that rhymes with each of them.
~ Have a family member scramble the letters in each of your spelling words. You unscramble them.
~ Print sentences using 3 of your spelling words. Keep going until you have used all of your words.
~ Using your finger, trace your words on a family member’s back and have them guess what the words are. After, trade spots.
~ Play “I Spy.” The leader says, “I spy with my little eye a spelling word that has five letters in it and is something you sit on.” A player responds, “Is it chair, c-h-a-i-r?”
~ Play “Hangman” with a partner using your words.
~ See how many new words you can make by making only one change. You may add one letter, leave out one letter, or change one letter. e.g. rule – mule – mole – mile – milk…
~ Reprint your words, leaving out all the vowels (a e i o u). Later, look at the words without the vowels and print the complete words.
~ Number the letters of the alphabet from 1-26. Use your list words to make spell-by-number riddles. Exchange riddles with a family member.
a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4, e=5, f=6 e.g. m=13 i=9 g=7 h=8 t=20
~ Print your words in alphabetical order
~ Starting with a word from your list, make a word chain
e.g. dog-garden-nest-time (last letter and first letter match)
