Phonic 21 : Lego Spelling Test

Focus : Spelling
Skills : Writing, Listening, Phonemic Awareness
Year : One

Assalamualaikum and Hi!

Today, we had some kind of changes in our Spelling Test Day. I intended to bring some fun in spelling test since they tend to be so bored and scared every Thursday. So, I came up with this spelling activity using Lego bricks. Bought this lego bricks (4 sets) through Shopee last year and it was pretty cheap. 





So, first thing first, we watched a video from Supermind (Supermind textbook page 6) and sang here and there. I bought my own portable projector (rechargeable) which is pretty good but it would've been better with darker lighting.





Then, I divided them into groups of 4 (because I have only 4 sets of lego bricks). These groups of course mixed ability (the best one in proficiency will be the leader). Then, I distributed a Lego Spelling Test Worksheet (as follows) :


So, next, I started the spelling test by saying out a word. Pupils spell together. Then, I wrote the words on the whiteboard and they copied on the worksheet. This worksheet is made specifically for three-letters words (see the three rectangle on top of the lego bricks). After that, they formed the letters using the lego bricks (its a competition between the groups just to make it fun). 

Here's some photos from the activity conducted :




























Anddd these are some works from my pupils :




It really tested their imagination on creating letters using these lego bricks. Plus, I wanna train them to tolerate with their friends and learn to share more in a good way. The good thing is I found that my pretty good students did pretty bad in this activity of shaping letters using lego bricks since they managed to reach the sixth words only, while my other two classes (low proficiency classes) did all eight words with 10 minutes remaining time. Overall, all of them did pretty well in this activity, no fights, no egoistic thing etc. :D


That's all. Thanks for reading! :)
