I ordered “my first” for that reason....if it proves too easy for the seven year old, I’ll have her use scrabble tiles instead! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-games#post-2911765 Fri, 13 Mar 2020 07:03:40 +0000 msmilkshake 2911765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’ve always used the original, but I’ve never taught below 2nd grade, it looks like My First could be worth checking out to get everyone involved! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-games#post-2911753 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 22:09:52 +0000 PinkElephant 2911753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@msmilkshake: @ilovepie: oooh I forgot Bananagrams! Do you like the regular edition, or My First? I also have a 5.5 year old who reads/spells and a 3 year old who doesn’t (but knows letters) if that matters.</p> <p>@Beehive: Thanks! I’ll check it out. I think we may add a NYT subscription soon anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-games#post-2911752 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 21:53:04 +0000 Beehive 2911752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure if you need a subscription to NYT for this, but Spelling Bee is great - my second grader loves it. Of course, it's an adult game so many of the words will be too difficult, but he gets so excited when he finds some: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/puzzles/spelling-bee" rel="nofollow">https://www.nytimes.com/puzzles/spelling-bee</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-games#post-2911737 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 18:43:34 +0000 ilovepie 2911737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only know board games/card games but this will bump it for you:</p> <p>Scrabble jr<br /> Quiddler<br /> Boggle<br /> Bananagrams<br /> Word on the Street<br /> Spell Smashers<br /> Frenetic </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-games#post-2911702 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 13:56:16 +0000 msmilkshake 2911702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is offline, but I play bananagrams all the time with my students! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-games#post-2911695 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 13:30:22 +0000 PinkElephant 2911695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any suggestions for spelling games for a second grader? (Free) Online games preferred, but apps would be ok too. My otherwise very bright second grader is an atrocious speller, and I’d love to work on it with her in a fun way in the likely event of a school shutdown in coming weeks. Thanks! </p>
