Spelling games to learn the letter h

It is evident that most people do not know all the rules of memory spelling, but it is clear that if we have the habit of reading, as we have insisted so many times, we will learn in a natural to write in a correct way. In a short time we will be able to discover the faults if there were any, becaus

In a short time we will be able to discover the faults if there were any, because without effort we will get used to the writing, that is why it is so important that our children begin to read from small and not to 'bomb' the children with boring orthographic rules . This does not mean that they do not practice with the rules, but if they do it through games and stories, they will learn and memorize little by little and without realizing it.

How to teach children the orthographic rules of h

We can invent different phrases, tricks and games to learn to write correctly without spelling mistakes. It is also very important to choose the stories and games adapted to the age and level of the children so that they do not get bored.

Today the protagonist of our article is the letter hache: Up and down, deep and wave, hello and wave, are some examples of homophones, that is, they sound the same but have different meanings as they are written with or without an ax.

The game of the 'Guardian of the h' for children

This game, 'The Guardian of the h', can be adapted to any letter and to the level of learning with which we want to work (The Guardian of the V, B, J, G, X ...).

All the children will form a circle and they will be the goblins of the words, except one, which will stay in the center and the one we will call the Guardian of the H. Each of them will carry three to five cards (depending on the number of children who enter the game), prepared by the teacher with words that bear the letter h. The Guardian will stay in the center and will carry a card where the letter hache will be written.

At the sound of a clap, a voice, or an agreed signal, how about a song ?, the goblins will begin to spin, varying their position from first to last, until the signal sounds again. The goblin that faces the one that carries the letter hache, will be the one that will take out the first card and read it out loud.

For example, if the first word is 'egg', the goblin should read aloud the word 'egg' and the Keeper of the H should write it on the board, hitting the H in the appropriate place to appear at the view of everyone. It will be made known that all the words derived from the chosen word will be written in the same way, in our case, huevería, huevero, huevera etc. Then the children will be encouraged to find examples of the use of this syllable and to discover at least two of them; hollow, bone, smell, orchard, etc.

Once successful, the children will exchange their place, in such a way that the duende will become the new Guardian of the H and vice versa, returning again to start the game with the song.

So little by little practicing with the hache they will easily learn the spelling through the games in a natural way.

Children's poem to play with the letter h

And finally, a children's poem with the letter hache. You already know that children's poems with rhymes are a fantastic way to convey messages to children in a fun and entertaining way.

THE HACHE

Although they say that I am mute

I am the first one to speak,

because nobody talks to anyone,

nor are there stories to tell.

Interspersed in now

you will always find me,

in there and in carrots

in jewelry and orange blossom.

In the hours of a clock,

in a 'hello' to say hello,

because if it is wave without hache
