Elementary School

Instructions for using this strategy:
Purchase a small indoor Nerf basketball ring and about 5 indoor balls. Using your child's spelling list, play basketball. Each time the shooter misses - he or she must spell a word.

This is really fun! My husband really enjoys playing with my son. My son was doing miserable in spelling before my husband invented this game. He has only missed a few words after. He and his friends beg for us to play it with them.
