**Spelling Bee- You may let your child look at the list (or not), have a spelling bee…how many words can your spell correctly in a row?
**Word Hunt- Select 5 words from the list. Can you find these words in the newspaper, magazine, storybook, signs while driving or shopping?
**10 Questions-Select a word from a row. Tell your child which row your word is in. Your child can ask you ten yes or no questions before they have to guess which word you were thinking. Switch places.
