Blind Speed Spell
Age/Level: Any Time: 20 minutes Players: 2 to 4 Teams Preparation: Blindfolds
Here is a simple team game for practicing spelling. Before class, prepare 2 to 4 blindfolds
depending on the number of teams.
Procedure
Have the first player from each team come to the board.
Give each player a chalk or marker and tell them to put on their blindfold.
Say a word you wish the players to write. The players then race to write the word as quickly
as they can on the board.
The first player to spell the word correctly wins a point for their team.
If you have more than two teams, you can score each team as follows: the first team (3
points), the second team (2 points) and third team (1 point).
New players then come to the board and the game continues with a new word.
For higher-level students, you can give the players sentences to write.
If you want to make the game more amusing, you can have the players start further away
from the board and have some students spin the players around a few times. Their
teammates can then direct them to the board by shouting directions.
