Activity from New Building Bridges 5, UNIT 1, Spelling, with the help of fidget spinner.
You need three spinners. You can use one spinner as well, but playing with 3 spinners and using all three prongs of the spinner at the same
time is time-saving.
Game 1 – Divide students into three groups. Each group spins one spinner and three members of the group spell the words they get. Before
the second spin, the groups switch – they exchange spinners until each group has gone through all of them.
Game 2 – Divide students into three groups. (one group - one colour). Label each spinner red, blue or green – each group should choose one
colour. Spin the spinner No 1. One member of each group must spell the word according to the chosen colour. Continue playing with other
spinners.
Suggestions – 1) Time limit for spelling can be set by the spinning time of the second spinner.
(Spin the spinner No 1 .When you get the result spin the spinner No 2 – you must spell the word you got while the spinner
No 2 is spinning.)
2) Spelling dictation – one member of a group spells the word and the other one writes it on the board.
The blank worksheet can be used with any topic. Fill in the fields with the target vocabulary and play  .
