Learning Intention
Success Criteria
- I can use strategies I know to spell words.
- I can work in a team.
- I can recognise letters.
Description
1. Take students outside or to the school gym where they have plenty of clear floor space.
2. Give the class a word to spell and ask them to work together to spell out the letters with their bodies (multiple students can be used for one letter).
3. Next, arrange the students into groups (number of students depending on the length of the words). Give the class a word to spell and ask them to work together to spell out the letters with their bodies (this time it is one student per letter).
Equipment
- Spelling words list
Variations
Groups of students can use their bodies to create words. The rest of the class must guess the word.
Homework
Students can practise making letters with their body.
