ACTIVITY OF THE DAY🔗

Something that is particularly
difficult for students is listening
to the subtle differences
between words that have a
different, but similar spelling.
These are words like leave/live,
fill/feel, tree/three, fit/feet, etc.
So here's a great game you can
play.

Have a set of cards printed out
with these troublesome words.
Divide the class into two teams.
Students take turns.

Have a set of cards printed out with
these troublesome words. Divide the
class into two teams. Students take
turns. You place the two cards on the
desk in front of them: live and leave.
Say one of the words out loud: live.

If the student chooses the right card,
the team gets 2 points. Now, if the
student is unsure, he/ she may choose
to request "an example", i.e. the word
used in a sentence: I live a few blocks
from here. If the student chooses the
right card in this case, the team gets 1
point.
