Spelling Review Game




This is a spelling game that I learned about as a student teacher.
  1. Group the students in groups of four and assign each person a number (1-4)
  2. Explain that they are going to each pretend to be the teacher. When you call out a word one person in the group will try to teach the others in group the word. Use your judgement on how long to let them teach. I have used one minute to thirty seconds
  3. When time is up the teacher will call out a number each person with that number in each group will come to the board and spell the word. All students will begin at the same time.
  4. Points are awarded based on correct spelling.
  5. You must explain that they are not in competition against teams but rather in competiting within their group. The goal for this activity is to learn the words that they need to practice.
