Homophones Spelling Games 2

Homophones Spelling Games Activities BUNDLE

10 KS2 Year 4, Year 5 or Year 6 spelling games to make learning about homophones and near homophones fun. This could be used as a home learning activity, with a child aiming to reach a target of correct answers in a given time. These 'splat' SPaG activities include the following words that are often muddled up and misspelled: * there / their / they're (64 sentences included) * it's / its (64 sentences included) * where / were / we're / wear (64 sentences) * whether / weather (32 sentences) * knew / new (32 sentences) * your / you're (64 sentences) * here / hear (64 sentences) * to / two / too (64 sentences) * threw / through (32 sentences) * no / know (32 sentences) **CONTENTS:** 2 PDF documents (37 pages in total) 2 PowerPoint (10 slides in total) This bundle is comprised of 2 homophone splat game packs that are also available separately: **[Homophones Games 1](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/homophones-games-1-12277053)** **[Homophones Games 2](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/homophones-games-2-12277105)** The games revolve around a total of **512 sentences which model a variety of structures** so that while children are learning about the spelling of commonly confused words they are also **learning about how to use a range of openers, connectives, sub-clauses etc to construct interesting sentences**. Many sentences are silly to further engage children! It's a challenge to make SPaG work active and engaging, rather than relying solely on worksheets and these homophones splat games are ideal for fun consolidation during the main part of SPaG lessons or can be used as purposeful early finisher and/or starter activities. If you print and laminate them all, children could self-select the homophones they need to practise. It is best played in small groups, where children each take a sentence card which features 8 sentences with a homophone word in it (homophone words are printed in bold). Children take it in turns to read a sentence from their card while the others compete to splat the correct homophone flashcard (homophone flashcards are included in black and white as well as fun colour 'explosion' style cards so you can choose which to print). The first student to hit the correct homophone word scores a point. Students could lose a point for hitting the wrong word to stop them being tempted to guess early. The PowerPoint includes a slide for each game and features the homophone words for splatting as a whole class version on a 'splattable' whiteboard, should you so wish. 3 people could compete together each round, perhaps representing 3 teams.
