Spelling Games for Children

Spelling games for children are a fun alternative to spelling worksheets. Using games for spelling in a classroom environment can involve the whole class together or small groups who can play card games or board games that help them with topics such as phonic awareness. Spelling games for children for ks1 and ks2 can also be found on the internet where many new sites offer interactive activities to improve spelling in an entertaining way.

For those aged 4 upwards it is important that spelling games for children introduce the sounds of the letters and letter blends. These are the building blocks for making words and without phonic knowledge the later learning of spellings will be much slower. Children learn through the visual appearance of words and through the sounds of the letters and letters blends. Spelling games for kids should harness both these senses, vision and sound, and ideally also a tactile element as this covers all the bases in the sensory routes used for acquiring literacy skills.

Spelling games for children focus on phonics, word building skills, writing spellings, memory skills and more. These games come in many formats for key stage 1 & 2 literacy: spelling card games, spelling board games, spelling games with dice, computer spelling games etc. At home as well, spelling games for children such as ‘Scrabble’, an old family favourite, help to reinforce children’s spelling knowledge and allow them to learn new words and spellings in a relaxed and fun atmosphere.
