Title – Survivor – The Spelling Game By – Robin Stryker Primary Subject – Language Arts Secondary Subjects – Language Arts Grade Level – 4th – 9th To play this game you will need a list of your regular spelling words, a list of somewhat harder words to be used for “immunity”, and either pieces of paper or popsicle sticks with each student’s name. To play the game, have the students sit ON their desks or stand in a line. Begin by having all students write down the first “immunity” word on a piece of paper. Tell them to fold it and set it aside. Then give the first regular spelling word. Each child says one letter as the spelling goes around the room. If a student says the wrong letter, they are out and must sit down. Now, whomever gets to give the last letter of the word, will also be out UNLESS THEY HAVE CORRECTLY SPELLED THE IMMUNITY WORD! If they’ve spelled it CORRECTLY, they remain in the game, but someone else must be “The Weakest Link”, and will be eliminated! Pull out a popsicle stick to determine who that will be! As the game progresses, you may pull out a few sticks before someone is eliminated, but it really adds to the fun and suspense. The winner is the last person left!
