Spool-A-Word Game

This is a wonderfully fun game for teaching sight words, reading, and spelling. The child can spin the spools independently of one another and create words or make up their own words.

SUPPLIES:

Empty wood or plastic thread spools
Permanent markers
Dowel rod or unsharpened pencil


DIRECTIONS:

1. Using a blue marker, write the letters s, r, l, g, and f around the first spool

2. Around the second spool, write the letters a, e, i, o, and u in red.

3. Around the third spool, write the letters n, t, d, p, and b in blue.

4. Put the spools, in order, on the dowel rod or unsharpened pencil.

5. Turn the spools to form a word.

You can make additional spools with different letters if you like and make longer words or use the spools interchangeably. You can have a game by seeing how many words you can make vs. how many words another person can make.
