Family in a Matchbox

Here's a fun way for the students to practice the spelling of family-related words.

Tape the picture of a family member to the top of a matchbox, write the letters that form the respective words on slips, and put them inside the box. 

Divide the class into as many groups as there are boxes and give each group a matchbox.

At your signal, the groups open the box and form the words related to the member illustrated on the top of the box.

This is more effectively played if the nature of the task is that of cooperation rather competition.

After you check the correct spelling, groups move their boxes to their right for a new turn with a different word.
