spelling game
By Donna

My kids love to play the game "SParkle". It's similar to the traditional spelling bee but goes quickly so students get to get back in the game.
All students stand up front and the teacher calls out a spelling word. The first student says only the first letter of the word, the second says the second letter of the word and so on until the word is spelled. After a student knows the word has been spelled correctly, she says "SParkle" and then the next player has to sit down. Then continue with a new word. If a student makes a letter mistake, they have to sit down. The last student remaining is the winner for that round and everybody stands up and we start again.
