Looking for a game that you can use anytime and anywhere? Look no more….give this a try!
Together, think of a category, such as food or great explorers. The mentor then writes down 10 words that goes along with this category, but they do not let the student see this list.
When finished, it is now the student’s turn to write down ten words that match this category. Compare the two lists. For every word that matches the mentor’s list the students earn one point….how many matches can you make? Adapt this game for younger students by letting them SAY their words rather than write them. For older kids only give them a point if they SPELL the word correctly.
This is an easy game that helps develop vocabulary skills and can be a great way to practice spelling. Learning can be fun!
