A Kinaesthetic Spelling Game

Devised by Julie Shepherd

Students form groups of seven. (Smaller groups might work better with younger children.)

Each group chooses a seven letter word e.g. PLANETS. They have about three minutes to make as many words within the word as they can e.g. PLANE, PLANT. ANT etc.

Each group is given seven A4 cards and a texta. Each letter of the chosen word is written on a different card. Each student chooses a letter to act.

In turn, each group has ninety seconds to present to the class as many of the words as they can:

  • They stand, holding the letters, to form the original word,
  • They bow to the audience,
  • Regroup to present the second word,
  • Bow.
  • Regroup to the third word and so on.

The winner is the group who can present the most words within the time limit.
