Here is a Groundhog making words activity I made. I usually put these out as an early finisher activity and challenge the students to see who can fill it. Occasionally I'll announce, "Oh, WOW, I see Caden has 12 already..." and that really spurs them on. ;-) The letters on the bottom can be cut out and manipulated.

Do your student have a hard time coming up with that many words? Mine do!!! Do you do it whole group or independent?

Hi Rachelle,
ReplyDeleteI put it out as early finisher work so of course it was mostly the higher kids who worked on it. I had 5 kids get all 16 the first time I put it out! I did not do it whole group but was thinking maybe I should to help the lower ones give it a try.
Love this! Great Job!
ReplyDeleteOur students love doing this activity. We have made it into a "beat the teacher" type activity. They try to make more words than we do and they get a "bonus" if they can think of words that we don't.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your many great ideas!
