Game to practice spelling with children

I leave you a game in which I have been working to learn spelling, it can be adapted to any educational level.

The spelling game SPELLING:

To play we will need:

- A die.

- Tokens, which can be pencil sharpeners, erasers, colored chalk, etc.

- A deck, which can be made with cards. Each letter will have a word written on one side, and a small note of the spelling rule on the back. We can create the game at our whim according to the rules and the educational level with which we want to work.

- A board, as extensive, colorful and with as many squares as we want (homemade or some that we have the style 'the Goose').

- A director, who will act as moderator and will read the rules out loud.

We can play individually or by teams, in such a way that there are not too long waits between the turns. If we play the game with a large group, by dividing them into teams, cooperation and a more agile pace of play will be encouraged.

And above all we need 'a lot of desire to have fun.

How to play:

Each player has a chip and will move it around the board when his turn comes. Grab a card from the deck.

For example, if we chose the word HERVIR, on the back we would read: 'all the verbs finished in bir are written with b, except boil, serve and live'. In case the child writes and spells the word correctly, it will advance a box and the moderator will read the spelling rule for all. On the other hand, the words that are written and spelled well and that bear the letters g, j, h, x, will make us advance two boxes, in the same way those that carry accents, will advance three boxes.

The cards that have already been played will be placed in a different pile than the one we will call 'REVIEW', there will also be some special 'REPASS' boxes on our board. When a player lands on it, a card will be played from this pile, so that if the player hits a position on the board, but if it fails, it must return to the starting position.

The first to reach the goal will win.
