Spelling/Vocabulary Practice

By Shy's Sunshine Room

Instructions:

Description:

✬This assignment is meant to help students not only practice their Spelling words but also to help them acquire a larger vocabulary. There is space for fifteen Spelling words. However, the second page can always be printed again to add additional words as needed. Students should write their Spelling word, the definition, and use it in a sentence.

Tips and advice:

✬It is completely understandable that there might not always be time to incorporate an assignment like this into the students’ regime of homework. Because of that, I have also used this if my students failed their Spelling tests. In my classroom, if they received less than an 80% on a Spelling test, I printed this out on Monday and stapled their test to it. (Others will draw the line at different percentages. I had ESL students who needed the vocab practice.) It was due on Friday. They then had to do this activity with any of the words that they spelled wrong. I would grade this assignment based on correct spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and correct definitions. Once done, I averaged the grade from this assignment with their test score and entered the new, higher grade into my gradebook. For the ESL students in my class, this assignment was very helpful in broadening their vocabulary.

Your feedback is appreciated!

Please go to your My Purchases page (you may need to login). Beside each purchase you'll see a Provide Feedback button. Click it, and you will be taken to a page where you can give a quick rating and leave a comment for the product. Each time you give feedback, TeachShare gives you feedback credits that you use to lower the cost of your future purchases. I appreciate your feedback greatly!

Featuring 4 puzzle challenges that reveal a final secret code, this fun and engaging printable game will be a huge hit for kids ages 6 - 10.

Our escape room game is designed to be easy to set up and play, with no props or complicated instructions required. Kids can complete the puzzles individually or in small groups. With our escape room kit, you'll have everything you need to create an exciting adventure for your little ones regardless of whether you're having the game at home or in the classroom. So why wait? Grab your copy today and let the fun begin!

What's the storyline?

You've just started at a new school and after some days, you finally find a friend, someone who makes the daunting halls seem a bit more welcoming. But then, one day, your friend doesn't show up to school. Concerned, you search around, only to find a cryptic note left in their locker. It reads, "I've been taken, and only you can save me."

The note is filled with puzzles and riddles. Your heart races as you realize this is no ordinary situation; your friend is in trouble and counting on you. Will you decipher the code, unlock the door, and prove the unbreakable strength of friendship?

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE INSTANT DOWNLOAD?

  • PDF game guide (8.5 x 11)
  • 6 puzzle challenges
  • Recording sheet
  • Set up instructions
  • Frequently asked questions
  • Hint cards

Gameplay: 30-45 minutes

Ages: 6 - 10

Number of players: As many as you want!

How long does this activity take to complete?

It really depends on a lot of things. Estimated completion time is 30-45 minutes but it’s based on the kids’ puzzle skills, group size, and age. We recommend ages 6-10 years old.

How many kids can play at once?

Kids can play individually, with friends, or in large groups. There really is no limit to the number of players.

What if the kids get stuck on one of the puzzles?

First off, let them think for a bit! This is where critical thinking skills come in. If they get stuck, hint cards have been included in your download to guide them. It is advised that you preview the puzzles first, so you understand how to complete them.

Where do kids start?

Kids can start on any puzzles and complete the puzzles in ANY order!

How do you know if their answers are correct?

There is an answer key provided in the PDF.

How do I set up the activity?

Just print and play! Everything you need is included in your download. You don’t need locks (you can definitely prepare one if you wish to), envelopes, or special equipment. You can hang or hide the puzzles or just spread them out on the kitchen table.

Do I have to print out the game materials for every kid?

Nope! You ONLY have to print out the answer sheet for each kid or group. Just one set of the actual puzzles is all you need!

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  1. This is a digital product. No physical item will be shipped.

  2. Unlimited prints for PERSONAL USE ONLY.
