Week of March 9 Unit 5 Ce/Ge words Write 5x – Write each word neatly 5 times! Connect the Dots - Make a square of 4 rows of dots with 4 dots in each row. Before taking a turn, the player must spell a spelling word. If the word is correct, he connects two dots. When a player forms a square, he can write his initials in the box. Player with most squares at the end wins. Story, Story - Write a story using ALL of your spelling words. Sentence, Please - Write a sentence for each spelling word. Check for capital letters at the beginning and punctuation at the end. Finger Tracing - Use your finger to spell out each of your words one letter at a time on someone’s back. Then it’s YOUR turn to feel and spell. Colorful Words - Use two different color pens to write spelling words. Use one color to write the consonants and the other for the vowels (a, e, i, o, u, and y if it says a long i or long e sound). Do this one more time. Close your eyes and picture the word in your mind. Now try and write the word without looking. Word search- Make a word search puzzle either on graph paper or online. Memory Game - Make pairs of word cards. Flip them over and try to match the pairs! Trace Around - Print one of your spelling words neatly. Take a colored pen and draw an outline around the word, closely following the shapes of the letters. Close your eyes and remember the shape. Now try to write the word. Scrabble - Use Scrabble tiles to spell your words. Draw your Scrabbled words on a piece of paper. Sing Them Loud, Sing Them Soft - Have someone sing the letters of a spelling word to you in a loud voice. You echo the spelling and then sing it again softly. Now BOTH of you sing the word in the voice you choose! Spreadsheet Them - Use Excel to type your words into separate cells. Then make each cell a different font, color, and size. Finally, let the computer sort them into alphabetical order! Don’t have Excel but are online? Download OpenOffice at http://www.openoffice.org/. Type ‘Em - Type all of your spelling words several times in different fonts. Sign Your Words - Use sign language to sign your words! Fancy Letters - Use old magazines, catalogs, or newspapers to cut out letters and glue them down to spell your words! Spelling Baseball - Draw four bases on a piece of paper or set up four chairs to be the bases. Pitcher selects a word. If batter can spell it correctly, he moves forward one base. If batter cannot spell word, he remains where he is. Child receives point every time he passes home base. Snowman or Scarecrow (Hangman) - Snowman is a version of Hangman. On a piece of paper, draw a snowman with hat and three buttons. Play like hangman (don't forget to draw the lines to show how many letters the chosen word has) but erase a part of the snowman for each guess. The object is to guess the word before the snowman melts. Riddle Me - Write a riddle for each word. ABC Order - Write your words in alphabetical order. |
