Wow! I feel like I already know you all. I love posting on ABC and 123. This is my 4th post! I'm Rachelle from, What the Teacher Wants!
Do you have a hard time coming up with a variety of ways to practice your child/students' spelling words each week? I have found that using food can be a great {yummy} way to practice for all ages!
Pixie stick spelling-
Supplies:
- 1 or 2 bags of pixie sticks (They really only need about 1 small pixie stick each)
- Paper Plate
- Printable
- Popsicle stick (or toothpick)
Tip:
I give my students one word at a time to spell in their pixie stick candy. When we finish all of the words, they can eat 2 pinches! I don't want them all hyped up on sugar all day!

- Fruit Loops Cereal (I give my kiddos one dixie cup full)
- Printable

Rice Spelling (not edible, just fun)-
Supplies:

- Printable
Tip: I put the rice in pencil boxes.

Additional food items to use for spelling practice:

- Twizzler's Pull and Peel

ReplyDeleteLove your ideas! One suggestion: Please make the word 'i' a capital.
ReplyDelete@anonymous- So sorry! It's just the font I use! It's so cute, but it doesn't have any upper case letters! Sorry...I'll change it and email it to you if you send me your email. :)
