Here are some fun ways to practice spelling!
- Write words in chalk
- Write words in shaving cream, playdoh, salt, or sand
- Build word bracelets by spelling them out with beads
- Practice typing words on a keyboard, one that works or one that doesn't!
- Use pipe cleaners or Bend-a-Roos to form the letters to make your words
- Write words layering different colors to make Rainbow Words-write with red, then write over with orange
- Make your words using letter tiles, Scrabble pieces, or magnets
- Spell your words aloud using silly voices or while doing exercises.
- Make yourself a word hopscotch! Toss an object to a square, hop from square to square saying the words as you land on them, but skip the square that the object landed on.
- Write your words around the basketball hoop, then play around the world. Spell it first, then shoot!
- Write a story and see how many spelling words you can put in it!
- Make a sight word balloon-Blow up a balloon and write your sight words all over it with permanent marker. (Or ask mom or dad help you.) Then toss it back and forth with a sibling, parent, or by yourself. Each time you catch it, read a word that is facing you. Or, your partner can read you a word and you can spell it! Then when you catch it, you have to find the word on the balloon.
- Write your words on index cards and:
- find the word that is said and hit it with a fly swatter
- jump from word to word as they are said like a frog
- pretend they are pancakes and flip them over with a spatula as they are said
- make two sets of your words and play memory!
