you can create vocabulary and spelling puzzles. You gave me some great ideas.

spelling tic tac toe is not really a game but assignments that students can do either at home or maybe in class. I don't have time in class
so it's HW.

I got this from someone on PT:

Spelling Tic Tac Toe Contract

Using ALL of your spelling words, please complete three activities in a row. All assignments must be kept within your SPELLING SPIRAL. All assignments and test me be due on Thursday.


Type your words in different fonts or colors.


Write your words with vowels in
one color and consonants in another.



CURSIVE


Ransom words. Cut out words (or the letters to make the words) from newspapers or magazines.



Secret Codes, where each letter has a corresponding number ex: A=1,B=2, C=3, etc. Beside each word, write the spelling words as a code (cat = 3, 1, 20).



CURSIVE


Spelling Acrostics - For each letter in the words, student writes a related word dealing with this letter.



CURSIVE


Go to Puzzlemaker.com and create a word search or cross word with your list, then SOLVE the puzzle.


Write the part of speech beside each word on your list.



CURSIVE


Print your words adding one letter at a time. The result will be a pyramid shape of words.


C


Ca


cat


Choo-Choo Words: Write each word end-to-end as one long word. Use different colors for each word.



CURSIVE



This is supposed to be in a 3x3 grid box. I had problems attaching the file so I copied and pasted it- the boxes don't show. But imagine that every activity is in its on box.

Here is my version of this; I also could not attach it but hopefully this helps.
