Activities for Different Domains of Literacy

1. Spelling

Make a fun crossword Create a game of word bingo

1. You can give the crossword to individuals
or break students up into small groups,
encouraging them to work together and learn
collaboratively.
2. Filling in the blanks can also give students
a sense of accomplishment, and completed
crosswords can be hung on the classroom
walls to recognise achievements.
1. Write the weekly list of spelling words on
the board.
2. Provide each student with a blank spelling
bingo card.
3. Have each student write a different word
from the list in each square on the bingo card.
4. Then rub the list of words off the board.
Call out a word from the list and ask students
to raise their hands if they have that word on
their card.
4. The fastest student to raise their hand has
to spell the word on the board. If they spell it
correctly they get to cross the word off their
card.
5. The first student to cross off 5 words wins.

2. Grammar Awareness

Team error correction Parts-of-Speech Tall Tales

1. Write the sentences on the board (such Kids write their own fill-in-the-blank tall tales.
as the ones below) and explain that each
sentence has at least one mistake.
2. Ask students to discuss suitable
corrections in pairs. Now, divide the class
into three teams, so that they’re no longer
with their previous partners, and ask them
to discuss the corrections further, thinking
about how confident they are about their
answer. 3. Next, give each of the three
groups different-colour board pens. Each
group picks someone to write, who then
has to quickly come to the board and
make a single correction to one of the
sentences.

3. Fluency
