Title – Spelling Words Review Game

By – Jocelyn Satterfield

Primary Subject – Language Arts

Grade Level – 2-3

Introduction:

This game is a great way to review weekly spelling words! I got this idea from
my mother who teaches fifth grade.

Game Name:

Here Comes the Judge

Object:

The object of the game is to make sure that the spelling words are spelled
correctly and are written neatly.

Procedure:

• To start the game, you pick one student to be "The Judge." The
  judge stands by the door outside the classroom (
  
  make sure you can still
  see the student
  
  ).
• Pick three other students to come to the white board or chalkboard.
• Teacher calls out the spelling word.
• Each student writes the spelling word (
  
  without peeking
  
  ). Each student
  only has one chance to erase his/her writing.
• After the students have written the spelling word, they all go back to
  their desks.
• If a student misspells the word, the teacher erases the misspelled word.
  
• Then the class starts chanting "
  
  Here comes the judge, here comes
  the judge!
  
  " This is the judge’s cue to come back in the classroom.
• The judge looks at the words written on the board. He/she picks the one
  he/she thinks is written the neatest. The student who wrote the winning spelling
  word will then become "The Judge."
  
• Continue game until all spelling words have been reviewed.

Final note:

My students love this game! It gets them to want to study their spelling
words as well!
