Looking for something fun to add to your class word work
routine? Wish that your students
practiced spelling more frequently? The
3rd graders in my class work on their spelling words daily, but I
feel like I’ve been in a bit of a rut these last few weeks in the word activity
choices they have. I’ve been trying to
think of some new ways to make word work FUN, and had some inspiration finally
hit!
Can’t wait to introduce this new game to the kids this
week: Spelling Speedway!
This racecar-themed game gives students an exciting way to
practice their spelling words while racing head-to-head with their
partner! Using the spelling patterns
that they are working on, players spin the word spinner, find what pattern they
need to spell, then fill in correctly-spellled words along the “lanes” of their
Spelling Speedway board. Partners have
to check their peer’s spelling for the words to count, and there are even “Pit
Passes” on the spinner that allow the kids to choose what pattern they spell on
their board.
I’ve posted the set on my Teachers Pay Teachers site, so be
sure to take a look! It includes 3 different spinner and gameboard versions so
that you can easily tweak the one used based on the spelling list that a child
is working on. Works with ANY spelling
list (2, 3 or 4 patterns), and super easy to differentiate! Along with the teacher directions, I’ve also
included a student-friendly version of game instructions so that kids can
quickly set up the game and start playing!
Looking forward to adding this to my literacy stations this
week, and hoping that kids will “race” to it. J
