    Spelling for Grade 4s Self-Selected

    Activities
    -

    Each week you need to hand in 3 spelling activities one


    from each section. Either use your spelling notebook or post
    to dropbox.
    Through the year you should try all tactivities at least twice.
    You can create ideas of your own choice to add to these lists.
    Just check with me first.

    Section A All About Words


    1) Create a word search of your spelling words for your
    classmates (get sheet from classroom). Use all words.
    2) Write all your words out in alphabetical order.
    3) Write out and divide each of the words on your list into
    syllables (e.g. fur/ni/ture = 3 syllables).
    4) Each spelling list has a phonics pattern. Find as many
    other words (not on your spelling list) as you can that show
    the same pattern (e.g. ing endings, lone a sound).
    5) Type your spelling list on the computer 4 times (try to find a
    way to fit it all on one sheet).
    6) Play the Spelling Board Game (sent separately). Write a
    sentence saying who played and who won.
    7) Do your own spelling bee spell all the words aloud
    without looking at them. Write a sentence describing
    which words you got right/wrong.
    8) Make a list for 3 parts of speech in your spelling list. Make
    3 columns - for nouns/verbs/other and write all the spelling
    words under the correct headings.

    Section B Words in Context Around You


    1) Go on a spelling scavenger hunt look in books,
    magazines and newspapers around the house to see how
    many of your words you can find in real life. Write down
    where you find each word (e.g. tulip in moms gardening
    catalogue, organic on the package of beans in the
    cupboard).

    2) Choose one of your spelling words to write a poem about


    (any style of poem is fine rhyming, shape, Haiku, free
    verse etc.).
    3) Choose one of your words to write a short story about.
    Example: the word is lamb so you write a story about an
    imaginary lamb.
    4) Choose one of your words and write a paragraph about it (as
    a personal narrative/small moment). Non-fiction example:
    the word is park and you write about a time you went to the
    park with your family.
    5) Make your own spelling game using your spelling words.
    Bring your game into class (if you make a board or cards) or
    write out the rules in your spelling book.

    Section C The Meaning of Words


    1) Write a sentence using each of your words.
    2) Find a synonym for as many words on your list as you can.
    3) Choose 3 or 4 of your spelling words and create illuminated
    letters for the first letter of each word (remember to write
    the whole word, not just the first letter). Try to make the
    picture in the letter fit with the word (e.g. illustrate iguana
    with an iguana in your letter i) Illuminated letters were used
    in medieval times. You can search them quickly on the
    internet under google images for ideas.
    4) Use a dictionary and copy out the definitions for 5 of the
    words on your spelling list (no more than 2 meanings per
    word if there are more meanings than that, pick your
    favourite two).
    5) Pick 5-6 of your words and create a picture dictionary
    page for them. Include a simple definition of the word and a
    picture to show it.
    6) Create a crossword puzzle for your words (get sheet from
    classroom). Remember you need clues! Blank out the spaces
    on the sheet that you dont need.
