As each picks a word, everyone writes it in a blank of their choice. Teacher writes it on an index card. When all 9 or 25 blocks have been filled in on everyone's sheets, you are ready to play. Shuffle your index cards and call out each word. Students are to cover the words wherever they have written them.
Students chant each word's spelling and then cover it.
The first student to have a complete row covered wins. Be sure to have the winner tell you the words to make sure they are the ones that were called. Have students empty their sheets, reshuffle your index cards, and play again. You might let the winner become the word caller, and teacher plays the winner's sheet. Word Sorts Students write the 10-15 word wall words on separate small slips of paper, and sort the words into different piles depending on the features certain words share.
