Objective:
Students become letters to stand next to each other and spell words
Instructions
  1. Make list of words for students to spell
  2. Write students' names on the board
  3. Give each student one letter to be and write it next to their names
  4. Call out a word to be spelled
  5. Students stand next to each other to spell the word
Variations
  • Give each student a large alphabet card to hold above their head
  • Have one student be the leader who places students in the right position

If one student's letter comes up more than once in a word, they can move and this makes the game more fun. Use the variation and make the 'quiet' student the leader to help include them in class.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU for this game - I will try it tomorrow with a group of difficult to control kids - I need to keep the energy up in order for them to learn anything! It just sounds perfect.
