You can adapt the game for groups to play at the same time or even for pairs to play. Have the next group come to the front of the class.The group gets points for every word it has successfully spelled. Repeat until the group’s minute is up.Once they’ve correctly spelled the word, read the next word.If it’s incorrect, they sit down and the next group stands up.If it’s correct, they toss the ball to another student, who says the next letter.The student with the ball says the first letter of the word.Have one group come to the front of the class with the ball.Get an inflatable ball, stuffed animal or anything that students can throw without hurting each other for each group.Divide the class into small groups of 4-5 people.All you need is a spelling list and something soft to throw back and forth. Work on your students’ hand-eye coordination as well as their spelling. Students can either stand in front of the class when they’re “at bat,” or they can spell from their seats. Play as many innings as you need for everyone to get a turn and to review all the spelling words. When there are three strikeouts, the teams switch and the fielding team gets to “bat.” If someone spells a word wrong, they strike out.If they get it right, they move to first and the previous batter moves to second. The pitcher reads the next word to the next batter.You can indicate this on the whiteboard baseball diamond. If the batter gets the word right, they’re on first base.The pitcher reads the first word to the person who is listed first on the batting team’s batting order.Have the fielding team choose one “pitcher” to read the words.Have each team write up a “batting order” that includes everyone’s names.Assign one team as the fielding team and the other as the batting team. Draw a baseball diamond on the board (home, first, second, third plates).Comments need to be approved by me first due to excessive spam and offensive postings.Everyone loves a nice game of baseball! Use baseball terminology and rules to reinforce important spelling words in your language arts lesson. The idea for this game is that by spelling words again and again very quickly you can become a better speller and also become more familiar with the vocabulary items and the letters used to form them.
#ULTIMATE SPELLING BEE BOARD TRIAL#
In this way there is a little bit of trial and error in learning to spell words that you don't know. If you click the wrong letter, then you don't lose you can just try another one until you get it right. In this way, the game should get more challenging. The countdown timer should get faster as you progress through the sets. Once you have spelt all the items in the content set, the game also finishes and displays the scores screen. If the timer runs out before the game is completed, then you lose and the game is over. There is also a timer which runs down while you are spelling the words.
This is because the keyboard that is displayed on screen only contains letters. Note that for this game it is not possible to add numbers or special characters - these are automatically removed on teh content screen. Although, you can change the target words by clicking on the textbox directly below the image. So if you add an image called 'beach holiday', then the target to spell for that image will be 'beach holiday'. The file names of the images you add become the target word that you have to spell. They you can select images from your desktop computer and they get added and displayed on the screen. To do this you click on the 'add' button when in the content selection screen. It is possible to add your own images and audio clips. You have to spell out each item once and there is also an audio clip for each image which should play just as the image is first shown. There are 30 different sets available for this game and each one has about 25 items to spell. So, if you are looking to get a good score, then it would be advisable to use the keys.īefore you start, you have to select a set of content to use. The keyboard seems to be a lot faster than clicking with the mouse. You can click on the letters on the screen or use the keyboard to type. This game is very simple: you just look at the image and then spell the word. Use the teacher's section to create more links or embed code.
