Ways To Play ALPHABET

Around A Table

 

Just begin and have fun,

 

and in a classroom, form a circle

and each person name a letter

until you’ve spelt a word.

 

Just One Rule 

 

Words must be at least three letters,

 

and when you add a letter – you have to know a word 

that letter would help continue to spell.

 

for example – the letters called may be “L” “E” “T.”

 

You can say “word spelt” or continue

and spell words such as “letters” and “lettuce.”

 

 

Having More Fun

 

After a word has been spelt,

have the person that went first use that word in a sentence.

 

How To Practice

To Play ALPHABET

 

Starting with the letter A, make a list of three words

beginning with that letter,

 

Then the next time you practice, make a new list with different words.

 

And to keep improving make a list where each word has four letters. 

 Then a list of words with five letters.

 

Practicing As A Class

 

Everyone pick a different letter,

write down a word beginning with that letter,

and when the teacher says it is your turn,

share that word with the class,

and tell the class the way you think the word is spelt.

 

You’ll be learning more words and improving your vocabulary

 

PS 

 

Some words sound the same but are spelt different.

And no one is a perfect speller.  

So if someone spells a word wrong, that is OK.

 

Help make the correction.

 

Part of the fun of playing ALPHABET

Is learning and helping each other.

 

The Spelling Challenge

 

Spell the name of a State.

A food that is healthy to eat.

An animal that lives on a farm.

An animal in the zoo.

An animal found in the jungle.

 

Ways To Learn New Words

 

Reading.

 

Reading a book. A newspaper.  Magazine

 

Use a dictionary.

 

Look up a word in a Thesaurus.
