I find that anytime I can plan fun school activities around snacks and foods my boys are eager to participate. Today we had spelling, math, art/science all using candy and food! To have some fun with spelling today we pulled out a box of Scrabble Junior Cheez- It's and I found two different sheets for the kids to use. Snacking on words was for Evan-- he had to make three letter words using the crackers and we read them together. Since he hardly knows any words at this point I let him make up nonsense words as well as real words and I didn't make him record them-- yet. We talked about changing just one letter to make new words and I was so happy when he read BAT! For Ian and Alec I found a sheet that looked a bit like a Boggle board that the crackers fit on perfectly. I followed the entire activity that I found on the Relentlessly Fun, Deceptively Educational site. I too allowed the boys to manipulate the crackers to make it easier for them to find words.
