This is a fantastic resource I made for improving spelling during morning activities. There are 20 different 9 letter words which are placed in a wheel. One of the letters is put in the middle, which has to be used in every word. Pupils then try to make 3 letter or more words. I score it by allowing the pupils 5 minutes to find words. They get 9 points for the 9 letter word and 8 points for 8 letter words etc. Pupils read their word out and if no one else has got it they get the points. Everyone who gets the 9 letter word gets 9 points, even if someone else gets it too. Each slide has a clue what the 9 letter word is. The next slide always reveals what the 9 letter word is.
