Word Work Activities



Word Work Activities

There are many word work activities that students can do throughout the school day and at home to help them to become better readers, writers, and spellers.  Some of my favorite are the ones listed below because the activities don’t require any prep and the sheets are simply print and go!

Spelling Toothy

Spelling Toothy™ is a lot of fun!  Students partner up.  Partner A gives partner B a word from the list.  Partner B writes the word.  If the word is written correctly, he/she gets to draw a tooth in Toothy’s mouth.  Partners switch roles once the list is finished.

What’s My Word

This word work activity is very similar to Hang Man.  Students play this game with a partner.  Partner A choose a word from the word list.  Partner B guesses a letter that is in the word.  If the letter is in the word, it gets written on the sheet.  If it is not in the word a body part gets drawn.  The object of the game is to guess the word before the entire body is drawn.  Partners switch roles after every word.  Laminate the word work sheets to reuse.
