2Nd grade spelling words games

Classroom Spelling Games for Grades 2-6

Looking for an engaging spelling game to play with your students? Look no further! We’ve collected together a fun list of classroom spelling games suitable for students in grades two to six.

1. Buzz Off Spelling Game
Have students stand in a circle. Choose a person to start and say the word to spell. In succession moving from person to person around the circle, each student says the next letter in the word until the entire word is spelt. The next student says ‘buzz’ and then the next ‘off’ and that final student sits down. Any student whose letter misspells the word also has to sit down. Keep playing until only one student remains standing.

2. Spelling Team Tic Tac Toe #1
Divide students into two teams. Draw a large tic tac toe grid on the whiteboard. Students from each team take turns to orally spell an allocated word correctly. If they are correct, they add an x or o to the grid for their team. First team to three in a row wins the round.

3. Spelling Team Tic Tac Toe #2
Divide students into two teams. Draw a large tic tac toe grid on the whiteboard. Give each team a different coloured whiteboard marker. Students from each team take turns to spell an allocated word directly onto their choice of square on the tic tac toe grid. If they spell the word incorrectly it is erased. First team with three correctly spelled words in a row wins the round.

4. Snowball Spelling Game
Onto a small sheet of white paper write the grapheme for a sound the class has been studying, e.g. ‘ir.’ Scrunch the paper up into a ball. Throw the paper ball to a child who must unwrap the paper and say a word containing that sound. The child then throws the paper ball to another child who has to spell the word. They then throw the ball to another child who has to say a sentence that includes the word. They then throw the ball to another child who starts the sequence again with a new word that includes the sound.

5. Spelling Swat It!
Divide students into two teams. Write the spelling words randomly onto the whiteboard.

Stand the first two players, with their backs to the board, a short distance in front of it. Give them each a plastic fly swat.

Call out a clue to identify the spelling word. For example, “This word means…” or “Rhymes with …” The two players must then race to be the first to swat the correct word on the board. The winner must then turn away from the board and spell the word correctly to win a point for their team.

6. Spelling Word Relay
Divide the students into teams. Each team lines up a short distance away from the whiteboard, facing the board. The first person in each team starts with a whiteboard marker.Call a word for the students to spell. The first student in each team races to the board and writes the first letter of the word and then runs back to pass the marker on to the next team member who writes the next letter of the word, and so on. Team members can correct an incorrect letter on their turn but they may not add a new letter. The first team to correctly spell the word scores a point.7. Spelling Who Am I?
Write each spelling list word onto a post-it note. Divide students into two teams. The first student from the first team sits on a chair at the front of the room, facing the rest of her team. Place the first post-it note onto the student’s forehead. The goal is for the chosen student’s teammates to give him or her clues to what the word on his forehead is, without revealing the word directly. They can use rhyming words, synonyms, antonyms, guestures, etc. After they guess the word correctly, the student then has to spell the word. If they spell the word correctly, they score a point for their team. Repeat with the first team member from the second team, and so on.

8. Unscramble
Line students up into two or three teams facing the class whiteboard. The first person in each team has a personal whiteboard and a whiteboard marker and an eraser and turns to face away from the class whiteboard. Write a jumbled version of the first spelling word on the class whiteboard. On ‘Go!’ the team members turn to face the board. The first of these students to write the unjumbled word (spelled correctly) onto their personal whiteboard and holds it up to the teacher wins a point for their team. They then pass the whiteboard onto the next team member and play continues with a new jumbled word for each round.

9. Missing Letters
Played in the same manner as Unscramble but the words are written onto the classroom whiteboard with blank lines in the place of some of the letters. For example, b_c_ _se for the word because.

10. Invisible Man
Line students up into two teams facing the whiteboard. Draw two large stick people on the whiteboard, one in front of each team, each must have the same number of body parts. Call out a word for the first member of team one to spell. If they spell it correctly they may erase one body part from the other team’s stick person. Call out a word for the first member of team two to spell, and continue on until one team’s stick person is completely erased. The erasing team is the winner!

11. Spell-O
Each student chooses five spelling words and writes them onto a piece of paper. Write the alphabet in large print across the whiteboard. Cross out the letters of the alphabet, one by one. As each letter is crossed out, students cross out that same letter as it appears in each of their own words. First student to cross out all of the letters in all of their words wins.

12. Dictionary Challenge
This game works best with students in the upper elementary/primary grades. Divide students into teams. Each team will need a dictionary. Students choose a player from their team to go first. Call out a word. The elected students from each team race to be the first to find the word in the dictionary. The person who succeeds scores a  point for their team. The dictionary is then passed to the next person in each team and the process repeated.

Strengthening the spelling of complex words. Lesson game. Grade 2 | Methodological development in the Russian language (grade 2):

Methodical development in the Russian language

Master class "Playing with words"

Lesson topic: "Reinforcing the spelling of complex words"

Course of the lesson:

1. Introductory speech.

Pedagogical games

It is hard to overestimate the importance of games in the classroom. The entertainingness of the conditional world of the game makes the monotonous activity of memorization, repetition, consolidation or assimilation of information positively emotionally colored, and the emotionality of the game action activates all the mental processes and functions of the child. Another positive side of the game is that it promotes the use of knowledge in a new situation, i. e. the material assimilated by students goes through a kind of practice, brings variety and interest to the educational process. nine0003

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of playing in the classroom. Here the horizons of the child, ingenuity develops. The game makes it possible to switch from one type of activity to another and thereby relieve fatigue, fatigue. Games with their content, form of organization, rules and effectiveness contribute to the formation of skills to analyze, compare, contrast. This affects the development of attention, observation, memory, spatial representations, and imagination.

Cognitive UUD

1. We develop the ability to extract information from illustrations, texts.

2. Present information in the form of a diagram.

3. Reveal the essence, features of objects.

4. Draw conclusions based on the analysis of objects.

5. Summarize and classify according to features.

6. Find answers to questions in the illustration.

Regulatory UUD

1. We develop the ability to express our assumption

2. Evaluate learning activities in accordance with the task. nine0003

3. Forecast future work (make a plan).

4. Carry out cognitive and personal reflection.

5. Adequately perceive the suggestions and assessment of the teacher, peer.

Communicative UUD:

1. Work in pairs or groups is a form of organization of students' activities in the lesson, which is necessary in order to teach cooperation. With this form of work:

- cognitive activity and creative independence increase
students;

- class cohesion increases;

- the student evaluates his abilities more accurately;

- children acquire the skills necessary for life in society, responsibility, tact, etc.

- the ability to resolve conflict situations, the ability to listen to the interlocutor, the ability to empathize emotionally, the ability to work in a group is being formed.

Group support creates a sense of security, and even the most timid and anxious children overcome fear. nine0003

Logical UUDs are formed through the analysis of objects in order to extract features.

One of the types of analysis is spelling, i.e. detection of orthograms, their definition and commenting, indication of the method of verification.

Through the analysis of objects, selective cheating and tasks for isolating words with certain characteristics from a group of words, sentences or text are performed.

Personal results

1. Evaluate actions in accordance with a certain situation. Use adequate self-assessment based on the criterion of success in educational activities

2. We form motivation for learning and purposeful cognitive activity.

Game can be a method and means of enhancing the cognitive activity of students.

If the game is considered as a method of teaching, then this is a lesson-game, if as a means of teaching, then these are didactic games.

Didactic games in Russian language lessons

Russian language is one of the most difficult subjects in school. Therefore, it is necessary to develop students' interest in this subject even in elementary school, to make it as joyful and exciting as possible.

One of the most effective means that can arouse interest in Russian language classes is a didactic game. The purpose of the game is to arouse interest in knowledge, science, books, teachings. At primary school age, the game, along with learning, occupies an important place in the development of the child. When children are included in the situation of a didactic game, interest in learning activity increases sharply, the material being studied becomes more accessible to them, and their working capacity increases significantly. nine0003

After all, the fact that the game is part of the learning process is not a secret for anyone. The game helps to form the phonemic perception of the word, enriches the child with new information, activates mental activity, attention, and most importantly, stimulates speech. As a result, children have an interest in the Russian language. Not to mention the fact that didactic games in the Russian language contribute to the formation of the spelling vigilance of a younger student.

Over the course of several years of work in primary school, I observed that Russian language classes do not always arouse interest among students. Some kids find it boring. The unwillingness to study Russian breeds illiteracy. I thought about how to arouse interest in classes, how to improve writing literacy. nine0003

I re-read a lot of literature, analyzed my lessons and came to the conclusion that it is possible to arouse interest in the Russian language if you systematically accumulate and select fascinating material that can attract the attention of each student.

Here are some didactic games and game techniques that I use in my lessons.

1. Make words from the following letters:

c) h, a, k, o, s

2. Decipher what words are hidden here, and say which word from the data is superfluous.

3. Decipher the words and say what common word they can be combined with .

4. Decipher the words and say what groups they can be divided into.

II. The game "Confusion"

Decipher the words

GONVA, ZDEVE, OKZAVL, ENNESERKSOV, STOKVO, LOVE, CHVREA (car, everywhere, station, Sunday, east, ahead, KILINBILIZ

3 , GLUBV, DRUGV

(vaseline, cornflower, near, deep, suddenly)

(hero, hot, ready, December, road, goodbye.)

AB…IKO…, AV…OGRA…, AK…AREL…, AK…ARIU… .

(Apricot, autograph, watercolor, aquarium.)

KONBAL, NABAN, RERAB, ATOBN (balcony, banana, barrier, loaf)

KARKAMOR, LEYAKO, ZYREKKO, MOUSE (closet, rut, visor, reed)

ONNELDEM

(easy, stairs, shop, potatoes, slow, month, hello, saucepan, strawberry, painting, engineer, flat)

DBOE, GUROETS, AOSIN, CETO (lunch, cucumber, aspen, father)

TAMELL, ORTEM, KOMOVR, AZAND, LENAVO, OVARPAN (metal, metro, carrot, back, left, right)

TOIG, RIZKAP, ZENOYAM, VMOTI, BOZNO

(total, caprice, mayonnaise, motif, chills)

(Rocket, story, distance, plant, decide, drawing)

(Which word is superfluous here? (Solve" is a verb, the rest is a noun)

( The game is used to consolidate any topics in the Russian language)

Purpose: To follow the formation of spelling skills, taking into account the stage of work on spelling

The choice of words depends on the topics studied or covered.0003

Nine words are written on 9 cards:

1st set: fish, blizzard, stocking, oak trees, jam, scarecrow, streams, plague, mushroom.

2nd set : entrance, warehouse, crow, hail, filming, treasure, gate, lift, sparrow.

Two people take cards in turn, the winner is the one who first has three words with the same spelling.

blizzard

IV. The game "Nicknames"

Purpose: formation of the process of inflection and word formation, consolidation of phonetic and grammatical analysis of words, spelling of proper names.

Move: Form animal names from the following words:

BALL, ARROW, EAGLE, RED, STAR

Write sentences.

BALL, ARROW, EAGLE, GINGER, STAR

Highlight the part of the word that you used when composing nicknames (suffix, ending).

Purpose: To consolidate students' knowledge of selecting a test word, expand vocabulary, develop phonemic hearing.

Move: The postman distributes invitations to a group of children (4-5 people each). nine0003

Children determine where they are invited.

Tasks:

1. Explain spellings by choosing test words.
2. Make sentences using the given words.

Didactic task: Repeat the case endings of nouns.

Game task: Complete the story from which the bear “ran away”.

Content of the game: “Look at this story. You see it with passes. Actually, this is a story about a bear, but the bear himself escaped from it. Please return the word “bear” to the sentences, replacing the endings with questions.”

Materials: “Not every hunter had a chance to meet (whom?).... It is dangerous to approach (to whom?) Closely. I saw (who?)... at the zoo. In the forest you can watch (for whom?) for ... only from a distance. The forester told us a lot of interesting things (about whom?) about...”

Purpose of the game: to create conditions for fixing the composition of the word, to teach to see a word that differs from the rest in its composition.

Now guys, let's play a little. Three trains have arrived at the station. Each train consists of four cars. When the cars were attached to the train, they made a mistake by attaching an extra car that did not fit this train (three trains appear on the board). You guys need to find that extra car. The words written on each wagon will help you do this. nine0003

Hint. Extra words differ from other words written on the cars in their composition.

Each row gets its own train, before making a decision, discuss it with your row, determine the person who will express a common opinion.

race, swim, law, start.

• Word, on which car is this extra?
• Extra word law, on the third car? nine0012
• Why?

The words written on the remaining three cars have a prefix, but the word law has no prefix.

That's right guys, well done. The extra car has been removed from the train. The train can continue on its way. Now write down all the words, except for the word law, and highlight the prefixes in them.

kettle, coffee pot, milk jug, broom.

• Which word is superfluous.
• The extra word broom, because, unlike other words, it does not have
  suffix.
• Write down the words with suffixes.

Train number 2 can continue. Well done boys.

watch, win, think, mourn.

• What a wagon, this is superfluous.
• Carriage with the word win, as there is no prefix in this word.
• Write down the words with prefixes.

Well done guys. You did a good job. nine0003

Purpose: to create conditions for repeating the spelling of hard and soft signs.

Students are divided into two teams. One team is called "Stone", the other - "Water". The “Stone” team gets up if I read a word with a hard sign, if I read a word with a soft sign, the “Water” team gets up.

Words: congress, enter, blizzard, pours, entrance, pour, announcement, stakes, skids, detour, ears of corn, drink, filming, etc. nine0270
