Ages 7-9 | KS2.i Words in Words (Spelling)

[Atomic Academic]

Steps:

1. Think of a few words that have other smaller words inside them and put it on display. e.g.
   Skateboard
   
   👀: Examples

   skate, ska, at, ate, board it is up to you if you wish to allow names i.e. Kate
2. See who can find the hidden word(s), give a short time limit (seconds) so the student must focus, looking carefully at the word you have on display.
3. Here's a few words that work, please add your own words in the discussions for this resource:
   Traitor, Trying, Enjoyable, catfish, whisper, because, mother, father

Extension/alternative:

1. Put a long word on display. e.g. antidisestablishmentarianism
2. Provide a set time for the student(s) to find as many words as possible from the letters, this can be used for a varied length of time.
3. A few more alternative words: floccinaucinihilipilification - (the estimation of something as worthless), pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis - (a supposed lung disease)
   
   
   👀: Even more long words

   otorhinolaryngological - immunoelectrophoretically - psychophysicotherapeutics - thyroparathyroidectomized - pneumoencephalographically -radioimmunoelectrophoresis - psychoneuroendocrinological - hepaticocholangiogastrostomy - spectrophotofluorometrically - pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism

That was a great idea. It seems very entertaining and educational too. This game can engage them to increase their vocabulary as well. However, I just hope that there was no one that have a Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia or fear of long words.

Persornally speaking, that is among the best ideas I have ever heard so far, it really will improve the creativity of the leaners as well as their vocabulary, my contribution if not yet known please use : Antidisestablishmentarianism
