MISS C's SPELLING ACTIVITIES

Using the words on this week’s spelling list (or super challenge list), complete three activities by Friday.  Staple your pages together and turn in as a packet.  One of your spelling activities must be the signed pretest (idea number one).  Please complete your activities in your neatest writing. 

 

 

Idea 1

Must Do!

 

Have an adult at home give you a practice test using all of your spelling words.  Write any misspelled words three times each.  The adult must sign the test.

 

 

Idea 2

Using ten spelling words as the lines in a drawing, draw a scene on a blank sheet of paper.  Write each of the ten spelling words five times as you complete your picture.

 

 

Idea 3

Using different color pens or markers, write each spelling word as a complete word, but write each syllable in a different color.  For example, the word “mythical” might have myth in red, i written in blue, and cal written in orange. 

 

 

Idea 4

 Letter Writing!  Write a letter to a friend or family member using all your spelling words.  Underline each spelling word.

 

 

Idea 5

 Your choice! Come up with a way to show me you studied your spelling words. (Must be pre-approved.)

Idea 6

Create a mnemonic or trick to help remember how to spell ten of the words on your list.  Write out and/or describe each mnemonic.

 

 

Idea 7

Write ten sentences using spelling words.  Each sentence must be at least eight words in length.  Underline the spelling words.

 

 

Idea 8

Write the definitions of your spelling words. You may use an electronic or standard dictionary.

 

 

Idea 9

Create a crossword puzzle using at least ten spelling words.  You can use graph paper OR you can make one on the Internet. http://puzzlemaker.discoveryeducation.com/CrissCrossSetupForm.asp
