Bananagram Spelling

BANANAGRAMS

is a fantastic word game!

English: The game Bananagrams, showing pieces ...

Similar to Scrabble, but played without a board, players make as many words as they can with their letter tiles.

Recently I used it to reinforce my 9-year old’s spelling lessons.

It is easy to build words in spelling families – just add letters, swap letters, make new words, find root words … the possibilities are endless!

Quick, fun, tactile, kinesthetic and visual – every learning sense is used to play and learn spelling.

We enjoy a variety of other spelling activities:

  • write words on a white tile/ whiteboard
  • Spelling City – fantastic free site with auditory and visual lessons, games and tests
  • spell aloud while jumping on a mini trampoline or skipping rope

What fun activities do you use to teach spelling?  Share with us in the comments.
