This is a spin on the game, Red Light Green Light.  When children are stopped, the teacher holds up either a period, comma, exclamation point, and question mark.  Depending on the sign, students do a certain signal to represent it.  Each signal is related to the meaning of the punctuation mark.  For example:

-Comma means: slow down and WALK.

-Exclamation point means: Hop and wave your hands!

-Question mark means: Stop, tilt your head, and put your hands on your hips.

-Period means: STOP right now!

This game helps students practice the parts of speech by having them place a domino on the matching piece on the game board.  Ex. the domino says "jump|dog" so the student would place the domino on a game board space that said "verb|noun."  Students practice matching a part of speech with an example of one.

This game has the same rules as regular Battleship except that the boats are spelling words.  Each student chooses 5 words from their spelling list (same list for both students) and then they take turns guessing the words using coordinates.  This is a fun way for students to practice their spelling.

These shape puzzles are very useful in helping students learn to spell because the word appears as the shape appears!  Since each piece has one letter, this activity also helps students practice seeing how many letters are in certain words.  As students get older, you can make different word puzzles using different, more challenging sight words.
