Year 5/6 Spelling Rules - Interactive Treasure Hunt (Game 5)

Make spelling revision exciting! This interactive game helps pupils practise 5 key Year 5/6 spelling rules while competing to collect treasure across a map.

Spelling rules covered:

1. Words ending in -cious or -tious (e.g., cautious or precious)

Pupils work in teams to move across a treasure map, answering 30 spelling questions to collect points. Optional challenge questions give extra treasure. Along the way, teams may uncover bonus treasure, steal coins, fall into traps, or swap scores, keeping the game fun, competitive, and unpredictable.

This ready-to-use treasure hunt game requires no prep, comes fully editable in PowerPoint, includes answer slides, and is suitable for quick spelling revision in class. Pupils stay engaged while practising key rules - who will collect the most treasure and become the ultimate winner?
