For this game give each child crayons or markers in rainbow colors of red, orange, yellow, blue, green and purple. Use a big, plush toy die if you have one. If not, use a regular die. Roll the die and call out the number. Then write a spelling word that many times on the board in rainbow color order, and have the children write it on their own piece of paper the same number of times with their crayons or markers. Repeat for all the spelling words. Allow the children to take turns rolling the dice and calling out the number. Kindergartners will practice counting, writing their spelling words, and colors at the same time.
In this version of duck, duck goose, the children play the game as usual, with one child going around patting the other kids on the head and selecting the "goose" to chase her. If the child who selected the goose makes it around the circle and back to her seat before the goose catches her, the student who is the goose has to spell a spelling word. Have the class help him if he is stuck.
Place wooden letter blocks in various places around the classroom where they are visible and reachable. Have the children gather in a circle and explain that the spelling monster has stolen a letter in each of their spelling words. They must find the letter to complete the word. For example, if the word is "CAT," you could write "C_T" and put up a picture of a cat next to it. Send the children to find the missing letter. The first child to find the letter and come back to the circle wins the word. If you don't want it to be competitive, have the children take turns hunting for the letter while the rest of the class cheers on that person.
This game helps reinforce a lesson in consonants and vowels. Gather the children in a circle with plenty of space. Call out one of the spelling words and have the class spell it together once, then have the class repeat it and jump for every consonant and twirl for every vowel. Have a list of vowels on the board for the children to refer. You can choose to use a variety of other movements as well.
