3 four in-a-row games and 3 puzzles worksheets for fun revision of the KS2 Y5 / Y6 statutory word list of 100 words. They work well for Year 6 SATs tests preparation, or use as starter tasks, early finisher activities or as stations in spelling / SPaG lessons. Ideal as fun, meaningful fillers activities too. These use UK spelling, punctuation and grammar rules.

SAVE as part of a SPaG Revision Activities BUNDLE, which also contains SPaG Editing / Proofreading Puzzles.

 
3 HIDDEN WORD / SPOT THE MISTAKES PUZZLES:

  • Puzzles feature sentences containing multiple words from the Year 5 and Year 6 spelling list, most spelled correctly
  • Students check carefully to spot errors and highlight corresponding letters in the grid at the bottom
  • Rearrange highlighted letters to form another word from the spelling list
  • To save printing, print puzzles on card and laminate. Students use whiteboard pens, allowing repeated use
  • Puzzles are included with a pastel background, to reduce glare for dyslexic learners and others for whom this is helpful. If not colour printing, it becomes a greyscale background, which you might like, though there are also versions without a background
  • Spotting errors may help students remember to check their own work and help them avoid errors themselves
  • Individual, pairs or small group use
  • For differentiation put lower ability children into pairs, perhaps with a higher ability student. You could allow a word list or dictionary for support

 
3 FOUR IN A ROW GAMES:

  • Each board contains 36 sentences featuring a misspelled word from the Year 5 and Year 6 word list
  • These words are printed in bold and underlined
  • Pairs or individuals can play against each other, aiming to correct 4 adjacent spellings in a line - horizontally, vertically or diagonally
  • Students roll dice to determine from which column they must pick a sentence
  • Print and laminate for regular use
  • Originally designed for A3 printing, and I recommend this, with students writing directly on the board with a thin whiteboard pen. However, it works fine in A4 (you may need to adjust printer settings). If A4, students could write their spelling on a mini whiteboard or paper and put their initials in the space if correct

One version has sentence 20 missing and the hidden word is not what is stated on the answer sheet. Please could this be amended.
