Build   A   Word

Ages 5 and up

Using your child's vocabulary words make it a card game. Write each letter that spells the words as a deck, give the child 5 cards and see how many words the child can make that are either in their vocabulary list or as additional words. This can be played as a group or team also. Each player gets five letters to create a word for each round at the end of the fifth round the one who has created the most words is the winner or winning group or team. This is a way to reinforce vocabulary or study words.
