Outdoor Spelling Activities KS1 KS2

Teach spellings outside with active practical activities using natural resources, suitable for EYFS up to Year 6 including differentiated challenges.

As well as the benefits of fresh air and exercise, the enjoyment factor and the wellbeing effects of green spaces, outdoor experiences are also crucial for children’s development. Young brains grow through experimenting with different textures, hearing different sounds, inhaling different smells. Even germs (in small amounts) are needed to develop healthy immune systems.

This resource includes instructions for each outdoor spelling activity and suggestions for supporting or adding further challenge. Can be used to learn anything from simple CVC words to complex multisyllabic vocabulary.
