    Spelling game ideas

    I play a Spelling game each week. My favorite game (and one of the kids favorites) is called Spelling Mat. I have a huge spelling mat (it's a shower curtain with the alphabet). I have start and finish rectangles. Each letter of the alphabet has its own square. The kids sit around the mat and one by one they get up to spell a word. They stand on start, say the spelling word, say each letter as they step on it, then step on finish and say the word again. They love to help each other. If they misspell the word, they have to start over again. They love it because they are out of thier seats and jumping around in the classroom. It took me forever to make it, but it will last a long time. I've played it with fourth and first graders. My current second graders LOVE it!
