Language structures: The 40 common words spelling game
Grade 5 English First Additional Language Term 2 Weeks 1 & 2 Unit 6: Stories from Africa Language structure and conventions
Let the learners read through the 40 common words with a partner. When they are
finished, they write out the 40 words on small individual cards. They spread them out
face down. When the game starts, they take it in turns to play. They take a word and
say it out loud. Their partner spells it aloud. If the partner spells it correctly, he or she
he keeps the card.
If the partner is not correct, he or she replaces the card face down. The player who has
the most cards when all of them have been picked up is the winner.
When the learners have finished the game, they put the words in alphabetical order.
Suggested answers:
