Hey everybody. Alright, this is a post that has nothing to do with technology. I wanted to share a game with everyone that could be used as a center as well. It's called Scoop and Spell, and all you need is a an ice cream scoop, a bunch of letter tiles, and an empty gallon ice cream bucket. I got my letters in the stationary department at Wal Mart I think.

Students use the scoop to scoop out some letters from the bucket. They record the letters they scoop out and then start building words with their letters. As they build words they record them on their score sheet, and then they write sentences at the bottom of their sheet using the words they built.

I found this game on the Internet a couple years ago when I was in my Title position and working upstairs in the penthouse with 3rd grade.

The links below are to the sheets that go with the game. Just click, download, and print.

I think when you click the link it automatically downloads each one as a PDF file.
