Second Grade Site Words
How can you practice your site words? Here are some suggestions. There are lots of games you can play with cards so you might want to make two sets of cards on index cards. Write one word on each card and leave the other side blank.
Card Games:
1. Play "Memory". Choose about 10 words that you need to practice. Make sure you have each of these words written on two index cards. Mix all the cards up and place them face down. Turn over two cards at a time, read each word, and spell it out loud. If the words match take the cards. The player with with most matches wins.
2. Play "Go Fish". Choose about 10 words that you need to practice. Make sure you have each of these words written on two index cards. Mix the cards up and pass five cards to each player. The rest of the cards go in the center face down. Player one asks another player if they have the match to one of their cards. If the other player has it, they must give it up. If the player does not have the word say "Go Fish!" and player 1 chooses a card from the center. When any player has a match they may put them down reading the word and spelling it out loud. The player with the most matches wins.
3. Play "Pursuit". Choose about 10-15 words that you need to practice. Put these words in a circle face up. Each player marks a word using a small object. Players should be equally spaced apart. All players move in the same direction. Roll a die and move your object that number of spaces. Read and spell the word you have landed on and spell it out loud. The object is to catch the other player(s).
Other activities:
1. Choose about 10-15 words you need to practice. Give a family member a spelling test. Ask them to make a couple of mistakes on purpose. Then you are the teacher and need to find their mistakes and explain the correct spelling to the family member.
2. Choose about 10-15 words you need to practice. Write a story using all those words.
3. Write a song to help you remember how to spell a few of the words.
4. Make up a dance to go along with spelling a few of your words.
