Children take turns to run and take a word card from a selection in a hoop. They call out the word and the next child has to run to find a matching word card.
They take another word card, call out the word and the next child has to run to find a matching word card.
The adult calls out a word. Children take turns to run to a ‘washing line’ on which there is a set of letter cards and try to find the next letter in the word.
They continue until their team has ‘spelt’ the word that the adult called out.
Children sit in a circle. They each have a large word card and one child has a ball.
The adult calls a word and the child with the ball has to pass or roll it to the first letter in the word.
They then pass the ball to the next child in the circle and the children continue to ‘spell’ the word by passing the ball across the circle to each of the letters in order.
