Sorting – Students can either do a regular sort (usually when they are first learning the
words) or they can do a timed sort. In the timed sort, students have three chances to
see how fast they can sort the words. However, make sure the words are being mixed
up between each round.
Go-Fish – Instead of using a deck of cards, students will use cards with the spelling
words on them (you can even use the sorting cards) and they will play go-fish using their
weekly spelling words.
Website games – There are numerous websites that offer great games for students to
use during stations. We will be using a website called Spelling Connections for a game
where students fill in the missing spelling word to complete the sentence.
Crossword – Students will be given a crossword that uses the weekly spelling words.
Students will be given a list of the words’ definitions to solve the puzzle.
Word Search – the word search features the weekly spelling list.
Illustrate – Students will be given the weekly spelling list and create basic illustrations
from ten of the words.
Writing Practice – Students write the spelling words twice. Then on the third time, they
put the vowels in boxes and the consonants in a circle. It may help to use different
colored markers to box and circle the letters.
Literature Word Hunt – Students will be given a magazine/newspaper and a highlighter.
They will go through the magazine and highlight any of the week’s spelling words. For
more advanced spellers, they could highlight the words with alternative endings to the
week’s focus endings.
Word-O game – Students will conduct a word operation on ten of the week’s spelling
words. They will add, subtract, or substitute consonants to make a new word. (Example
– space and subtract the s to get pace)
Snap-clap-stomp – Have students read and spell each word. As he or she spells each
letter, have him or her snap their fingers if it is a tall consonant letter, clap hands if it’s a
vowel letter, and stomp foot if it’s a small consonant letter. This game is also good for
students to understand how letters are written.
Concentration/Memory – Played with a partner and teachers can use the same word
cards that they use for sorting. Set up the cards so that they are face down on a table.
Students will take turns just like in the regular version of this game. Once both cards are
flipped, the student has to say the word and spell them. If the words have the same
spelling patterns, they keep the set.
Changing Words – Students will choose nouns from the spelling list and make them
plural by adding –s, -es, -ies, -eys. Then choose verbs and spell the root word in past
tense.
Hangman – This game can be done with a family member. One person has the word list,
they choose one of those words, and draw blanks to a random word that they choose
and continue to play hangman. All of the rules are the same.

Scramble – Students will unscramble a spelling word from a wordlist. This game can be
played at home with a family member.
