70 Spelling activities to reinforce weekly spelling words. Can be used with EYFS, KS1, KS2, and KS3.
Here is a large collection of spelling activities that can be used with a range of ages without much editing. I have tried to make them as interesting as possible by using fancy fonts, colours, images and GiFs. I have attached a few screen shots of some of the activities.
The activities work best when shown on an ActivInspire Flipchart because there are GiF images and files attached, however, I have also converted the slides to PDF so all can use them.
Some pages require you to add the spelling words, some do not. Please feel free to edit as you wish and suggest ways that this resource can be improved.
I hope you enjoy them and get use out of them.
