Activity

Spelling Bee

Very young students or struggling readers may need additional support finding the words - using manipulatives (like Scrabble tiles) can help students see what words look like in different directions.

Extended Learning

Use these activities to enhance student learning. They can be used as outside of class activities or other enrichment.

Vocab Hop Scotch

Using class vocab words, create a floor-sized word search. The whole class can then "program" a student, or teacher, to spell out words by creating sequences of cardinal directions.
