- Make list of words for students to spell
- Write students' names on the board
- Give each student one letter to be and write it next to their names
- Call out a word to be spelled
- Students stand next to each other to spell the word
- 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
- Make teams for bigger classes
- Give groups a time limit to spell the word
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.
A big thanks to Troy for this EFL/ESL game!











Alphabet/spelling game
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.
