One spelling activity ideas that my son has enjoyed and even… requested!! {which doesn’t happen much!}, is this Jump and Spell Spelling activity.  I think he enjoys the nice break from pen and paper, which let’s face it– can be tediously boring!!  And since he is like any other child his age who likes to move, this activity is a winner!

Spelling ideas

After introducing his spelling list in the beginning of the week, we take a day or two to practice using tiles or pen and paper, then we move to the driveway!
If you have a kinesthetic learner and/or a child who needs to move, this activity will be much loved!

How do you spell jump

On a large open space such as your driveway, write the letters of the alphabet using chalk– not too small and not too far apart…. remember your child will need to be able to jump from letter to letter!

Now go outside and Jump and Spell!
