Last week we used scrabble letters (the ones without magnets) to practise our spelling words. I put the scrabble letters in a tray in the middle of the floor. The kids chose 5 words from their spelling list that they thought were tricky and wrote them in a notebook. They then spelt the words with the scrabble tiles and added together the numbers on each tile to find out how much their word was worth and which word was worth the most. Even Mr Yr1 got in on this although his long words made for tricky adding but he got there with a little help to keep him adding on the right number.
Mr T even got in on the action making 'words' and finding every letter T and E in the tray.
What a great idea and how creative, I wish my schooling was that much fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I do try to put some fun bits into what we are doing otherwise we get bogged down in the boring stuff and never have fun.
ReplyDeleteOh like this idea - will be pinching it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteNo problem, pinch away and enjoy ... the kids liked it.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great idea and looks like so much fun. xx
