Spelling Game
By Kimberly

Clip to ScrapBook   
Hi! I used a game called "Spelling Detective" You write all of the spelling words on the board and you let the students study them for one minute. After one minute you tell them to put their heads down and you change a
word, misspell it, or change the tense, whatever throws them off. You tell the students "Spelling detectives raise your heads and tell me what is wrong." You call on a student and they have to spell the word correctly to you. You change the word back and give the students as a whole a point. If they are wrong, YOU get the point. My group is very loud and can get out of control, so
to cheer I tell them to do a silent thumbs up. If they get loud, I take one of their points. The students love this game because they are trying to beat the teacher and not each other. It is a lot of fun. GOOD LUCK!!!!
