Best Online Spelling Games

• Spelling Bee - The Game
Very cute game where you choose an avatar to play, the word can be heard alone, in a sentence, or with the definition. Be prepared - the words in spelling bee games are really tough (it would be great for your gifted kids to try!).

• Arcademics
The Spelling Games for kids is at the bottom of the menu. The Coconut Vowels game is loads of fun and can be differentiated. Actually, all of these games are great and can be used on the Smartboard.

• Interactive Literacy
This is from the U.K., so sometimes the spellings are different from the American type. However, that opens up doors for conversation about how words develop and work! There is a game for every level of speller in your room.

• Spelling City
Enter your own spelling words to practice for spelling tests. Parents will surely appreciate this site for a fun way to get their kids to study.

• Spin and Spell
Probably my favorite of the free online spelling games - such a neat way to enrich vocabulary and practice spelling for primary students. Quite colorful, easy to understand - you could play for hours and never spell the same word twice.

• Vocabulary Games
Great for ESL students and all levels of learners. There are lots of games to choose from, and I particularly like that most of them work on academic vocabulary skills as well as spelling.

• Scramble Saurus
You choose a category or a level: Medium, Hard or Superbrain (this is not a site for remedial students!). Then you are given a set of clues - a sentence with the scrambled word and a scrambled definition. Half of the fun is reading the extra entymology bits about each word (if you can unscramble the sentence!).
