Turn spelling practise into an exciting challenge with the Word Whizz Spelling Game for kids! This interactive card game encourages students to think quickly, build words strategically, and strengthen their spelling skills—all while having fun with their classmates. Instead of traditional memorisation, students get to actively engage with spelling words, reinforcing phonics, word patterns, and vocabulary in an exciting way. The Spelling Words Game is the perfect addition to literacy centres, small-group activities, or even as a fun early finisher task!

Word Whizz! Fun Spelling Games That Students Will ♥️

Get ready for Word Whizz!, one of Teach Starter’s fun Spelling Games that gets students thinking, spelling, and competing to form words quickly! Here’s how it works:

  • Players draw letter cards and combine them to create as many words as possible.
  • Words are written on the Word Whizz sheet in the correct column based on their length (e.g., three-letter words, four-letter words, etc.).
  • The student with the most correctly spelled words at the end of the round wins!

This hands-on Spelling Game For Kids promotes critical thinking, phonemic awareness, and friendly competition, making spelling practice both productive and fun.
