Teacher or student decides on a pair of rhyming words. That student receives 2 points. First student now acts out the second word which everyone knows rhymes with the first word. Whoever guesses it correctly, receives 1 point. A child, during free time, writes a sentence which the teacher edits.
Paper clip the sentence together and place in box.
Later, remove and have the author mix up the cards and place on the chalk ledge. He chooses a volunteer from the class to unscramble the sentence. They must figure out what spelling words they are. To make it more difficult, use review spelling words. Using one page of a newspaper, magazine or book, have students list any word or phrase that refers to the topic chosen.
