Spelling ideas for Year One!

SILLY SENTENCES: Write silly sentences using a spelling word from your teacher in each sentence.  Please underline your spelling words - write neatly! Example: My dog wears a blue and purple dress when he takes a bath.

RAINBOW: First write each word in pencil.  Then trace over each word three times.  Each time you trace, you must use a different colour crayon. Trace neatly and you will see a rainbow!

HIDDEN WORDS: Draw and color a picture. Hide your spelling words inside your picture. Show your picture to someone and see if they can find your hidden words!

BACKWARDS WORDS: Write your spelling words forwards and then backwards. Write as neatly as you can! Example: where/erehw

PYRAMID WRITING: “Pyramid write” your spelling words. You must write neatly!

CREATE AN ACTIVITY: Can you think of a really fun way to practice your spelling words? Then go for it! Be sure to explain your activity so that we can share it with the class!

ABC ORDER: First write your spelling words in a list. Then write them in ABC order. For an extra bonus, write your words in reverse ABC order!

STORY, STORY: Write a story using all of your spelling words.  Be sure to underline your spelling words in your paragraph.
