Description
SpellChecked is a card game everyone will enjoy. Players of all ages can practice and improve their spelling and their recognition of spelling patterns in words. Players are shown an image and the first letter of the word, and then they are asked to spell the word correctly. Players earn points for naming the image and spelling it correctly. If they can't spell the word correctly, they can earn points from choosing from three options, only one of which is spelled correctly. There's the option of playing decks with more challenging words, so players of all capabilities can compete against one another and everyone has a chance to win. Includes an instruction sheet and 208 full-color cards: 200 spelling cards and 8 SpellChecker cards. For 2-8 players.
Features
- Educational, Entertaining, and Competitive: Spellchecked is a fun way for the whole family to help young (and old) learners improve their spelling. It is cleverly designed to pit struggling spellers up against more experienced spellers in a way that gives everyone a chance to be the winner.
- What’s Inside the Box: Each box contains 208 cards. This total includes 200 Spelling cards and 8 Spellchecker cards, which are keys that players can use to check each other’s answers. An easy-to-follow instruction sheet tells you all you need to know about how to set up the game, how to play, and how to win.
- How to Play: The Spelling cards are divided into 8 color-coded decks and 4 ability levels. Players choose a deck to play. Each card shows a familiar image, gives the first letter of the word, and asks the player to identify the image and spell the word for points. If the player cannot spell the word correctly, the card is turned over to reveal three possible spellings. If the player can choose the correct spelling, they receive a lesser amount of points. The first player to reach 30 points is the winner.
- How It Can Help: Spellchecked can help young learners to recognize spelling patterns, use critical-thinking strategies, and learn from misspellings. The game plays to young learners’ strengths in identifying images and choosing a correct spelling from a group of three possibilities. This provides a sense of success and encouragement, even for those who struggle to spell on their own. Once young learners master a set of lower-level words, they can graduate to another level and continue learning.
- Fun for Everyone: Spellchecked is ideal for anyone ages 8 and over, and it can be played with groups of 2–8 players. Play it with third graders or sixth graders. Play it with friends or aunts or grandparents. The more advanced the level, the tougher the words are to spell and the fewer points correct answers are worth. In this way, Spellchecked gives every player a chance to show what they know and to win.
- At Home, In the Classroom, and On the Go: This game was designed by teachers for parents (and kids!). It makes for an entertaining and educational addition to Family Game Nights at home. It is also perfect for those on the go: Spellchecked is an educational resource that is practical, portable, and fun. Teachers can also use this game in the classroom to make small-group work a time of learning and enjoyment.
