Spelling

Fun Ideas:

**Type ‘Em** - Type all of your spelling words on the computer. You can even email them to me! (with your parents’ permission)

Snowman or Scarecrow (Hangman) - Snowman is another version of Hangman. On a wipe-off board or chalkboard, draw a snowman with hat and three buttons. Play like hangman (don't forget to draw the lines to show how many letters the chosen word has), but erase a part of the snowman for each guess. The object is to guess the word before the snowman melts.

Colorful Words - Use two different color pens to write your spelling words. Use one color to write the consonants and the other for the vowels. Do this one more time. Close your eyes and picture the word in your mind. Now try and write the word with just one color.

Wordsearch - Make a wordsearch puzzle. Go to [|www.puzzlemaker.com] to make your own.

Practice Test - Take a practice test (this is especially good on Thursday night before the REAL test!)

Scrabble - Use Scrabble tiles to spell your words.

Websites - __[|www.spellingcity.com]__ is a great website that allows you to enter your spelling words and play a variety of games with them.
