This activity is a fun way to practice kids’ spelling as they work to find words that fit a certain pattern. They won’t even realise they’re learning!

Top tip!
Set a maximum thinking time of 30 seconds to keep the game fast-paced!Steps
1
Player one picks a letter, for example, ‘c’. Player two must think of a word (like 'cauliflower') and say the next letter of the word ('a'). The next player must think of a word starting with 'ca', like catfish, and say, 't'.
2
Players must be thinking of a word before they say their letter. This ensures that people are not bluffing and that a real word actually exists. Throughout the game each player is likely to have to change their initial word. If a player is challenged and doesn't have a word, they're out. The last speller standing is the winner!
