Spelling App-tivities


This week, I've had the opportunity to help some classes practice their weekly spelling words on the iPads.  These app-tivities could also be used with other skills in your Word study as you practice other phonics skills, such as vowel patterns with your students.  Here's a few app-tivities to get you started:

Doodle Buddy App-tivities -

  • Have students rainbow write the words, where they use a different color for each letter in the word. 
  • Have students draw a picture (or use the stamps) to represent the word.
  • Play "I'm Thinking of a Word" where you give the students clues to guess the word in which you are thinking.  Have students write the word they think you are thinking of on the iPad as you give the clues.

  • Word Clouds App-tivity
    Students type the spelling words in the app to create a word cloud.

    QR Code App-tivitiy - 
    Students scan the QR code and then unscramble the word from the letters on the screen.


    I hope these spelling app-tivities will be useful in your classroom!
