2nd Grade Spelling Games (by date, oldest first)

Differentiated "Guess Who Game" for Sight Words

Dolch Sight Words for pre-primer, primer, first grade, second grade, and third grade

Engage your elementary school ELA students by using this sight word game to practice reading sight words. Ideas for differentiation and prompting are included to ensure the game is suitable for students of all academic levels. This game also includes five levels of word difficulty- from pre-primer to third grade level words. The sets of cards are notated with different colored inner borders so you can easily tell them apart.

Note: All sight words for each level are included, but the entire set will not fit in each game board as the boards only hold 24 cards. Before game play, decide which cards you want your students to use and make sure the cards in both boards and the word card piles match.

This activity is perfect for elementary school reading and ELA centers, elementary school reading and ELA lesson plans, small group instruction, extra help sessions, early finishers, group/partner work, classroom competitions, individual practice, and so much more. 

What's included

• "word pile" cards for each level
• red board inserts for each level
• blue board inserts for each level
• 33 question prompts
• Directions for five different ways to play (for individual players, two players, or small group)
• Guess Who game board linked here (NOT INCLUDED IN DOWNLOAD)

Guess Who Sight Word Edition and Guess Who Vowel Pairs Edition

¡Juego del Ahorcado del día de los muertos y Halloween con 20 palabras para practicar ortografía, lectura, vocabulario y divertirse al mismo tiempo! Ideal para el aprendizaje a distancia y presencial.

Cómo se juega:

1. Los jugadores deben adivinar las letras de la palabra misteriosa una por una. Cada vez que un jugador sugiere una letra, se clica sobre ella para verificar si está presente en la palabra. Si es así, se revelan todas las veces que esa letra aparezca en la palabra (por ejemplo, si el jugador adivina la letra "e", se mostrarán las "e" en todos los lugares donde aparezca).
2. Límites de intentos: Los jugadores tienen un número limitado de intentos para adivinar la palabra completa antes de que se complete la figura del ahorcado.
3. Dibujo del ahorcado: Cada vez que un jugador adivina una letra incorrecta, se dibuja una parte del ahorcado (la cabeza, el cuerpo, los brazos y las piernas).
4. El juego termina cuando los jugadores adivinan correctamente la palabra misteriosa antes de que se complete el dibujo del ahorcado o cuando se completa todo el dibujo del ahorcado (lo que indica que se han agotado los intentos).
5. Variaciones: Puedes adaptar las reglas según tus preferencias. Por ejemplo, puedes dar pistas sobre la palabra misteriosa o establecer un límite de tiempo para las adivinanzas.

Estas son las 20 palabras misteriosas a acertar:

• Día de los muertos
• Vampiro
• Calabaza
• Truco o trato
• Disfraz
• Pesadilla
• Huesos
• Araña
• Bruja
• Zombis
• Cementerio
• Fantasma
• Murciélago
• Esqueleto
• Superhéroe
• Casa encantada
• Calaveras
• Escoba
• Fantasía
• Octubre

Yo utilizo este juego con toda la clase como un juego de aprendizaje cooperativo, pero puedes hacer que compitan por equipos, e incluso hacer una copia para cada uno de tus estudiantes y así puedan usarlo individualmente en sus propios dispositivos. También podrías utilizarlo como centro.

Incluí dos bitmojis míos disfrazada de bruja, pero puedes cambiarlos por tu propio bitmoji para personalizarlo aún más. ¡Diviértete y aprende con este entretenido recurso de Halloween y el día de los muertos!

Hangman Game for Halloween with 20 words to practice spelling, reading, and vocabulary, and have fun at the same time! Ideal for both distance and in-person learning.

Players must guess the letters of the mysterious word one by one. Each time a player suggests a letter, click on it to check if it appears in the word. If it does, all occurrences of that letter in the word will be revealed.

Every time a player guesses a letter incorrectly, a part of the hangman is drawn (the head, body, arms, and legs).

The game ends when the players correctly guess the mysterious word before the hangman drawing is completed or when the entire hangman drawing is completed (indicating that all attempts have been exhausted).

The 20 words to be guessed are as follows:

- Halloween

- Vampire

- Pumpkin

- Trick or treat

- Costume

- Nightmare

- Spooky

- Scary

- Death

- Zombie

- Broomstick

- Phantasm

- Mysterious

- Tombstone

- Superhero

- Haunted house

- Scarecrow

- Graveyard

- Fantasy

- October

I use this game with the whole class as a cooperative learning activity, but you can have them compete in teams or even make a copy for each of your students so they can use it individually on their own devices, or even as a center.

Have fun and learn with this entertaining Halloween resource!

I included two bitmojis of my face, but you can change them to your own bitmoji.

This Jeopardy game is a review of ELA content in 2nd grade. The categories include phonics, parts of speech, reading/writing, and content vocab. It is completely interactive. No need to scroll through all the slides, you just click on the points for whatever category that you like and it will take you right to the question.

This would be a great product for a review at the end of the year for 2nd grade, practice during summer school, and even a pre-assessment for 3rd grade to see what you students know coming into the school year.

You will need to have a score keeper, and I would recommend splitting students up into teams of 4. I hope you enjoy this product. Please rate and review.

Special Thanks to Ready to Go Reading for providing the interactive in slide timer. Check out her store! Ready to Go Reading

This is a game to help students practice their sight words. These sight words are 2nd grade level words.

This product will take some prep.

Other materials you will need are: Popsicle Sticks, Glue/Tape, and Scissors

There are 46 2nd grade sight words in this product.

Between 1 to 4 students can play this game. To play the game, you will need to lay out the fireflies with the words facing up. Have students sit or stand beside each other with the nets in their hands, holding them all in the same position (so no one tries to cheat). Then call out a word. Students will race to find and catch the fireflies with the word on it first. Whichever student catches the firefly first, take that firefly and add it to their pile. Once all the fireflies are caught, have students count up how many they have. Whoever has the most wins!

I hope you enjoy! Please rate and review.

This is a physical escape room to be completed after reading the Lorax. Students will answer comprehension questions for their clues along with spelling some sight words and vocabulary words. It all ends with them unscrambling letters to make the door code.

This will take some prep. You will need to print off all the clues (which I included some options already) like the gloves and the watering can. You then hang those up around the room for the students to find. Have a stack of clues by that item so students can get their next clue.

I would recommend having the students complete this in groups no bigger than 3 or 4. Each group will need a clue sheet so they can keep track of their clues and also provide you with answers. This also has the area where they will provide the door code. You will also need to provide the timer for the students. I recommend putting it on a projector board so all the students can see the time.

You start off by showing the students the intro message from the Lorax, then you provide the groups with the clue sheets, and Clue # 1.

If you would like to do a virtual escape room, I also have created one to go along with The Lorax.

I hope you enjoy it! Please rate and review.

This is a virtual escape room to complete with your students after reading Dr. Seuss's The Lorax. Students will be answering comprehension questions about the story and also having to fill in the blanks for some sight/spelling words. Students could complete this in groups or as individuals.

I would recommend giving students 30 minutes to complete this escape room and displaying that timer in your classroom or on your screen somehow. The only things students will need are a device and maybe a whiteboard or paper for taking notes while they complete the escape room. I hope you enjoy it. Please rate and review.

Special Thanks to Plearn for supplying the Lorax Clip Art. Go check out Plearn’s Store!

This is a game to help students practice their sight words. These sight words are 1st grade level words.
