It can be difficult to get kids excited about spelling. Most times they find it redundant, because usually they are just writing a word over and over again. This Cheer and Spell activity is a good way to get kids motivated and moving as they practice their spelling words.
This activity works best with at least a couple of people. Everyone loves the excitement of a crowd.
One person calls out a word and then the kids spell it out. There is a motion for each letter of the alphabet. If a "tall" letter is called, which is a letter that touches the top line when written on paper, then the kids put their hands up in the air and say that letter.
If a short letter is called which is a letter that touches the middle paper line, then kids put their hands on their hips when saying this letter.
If the letter goes below the bottom paper line then kids bend over and touch their toes as they say this letter. After they have completed the word they clap their hands and say the word.
