Spellings: Roll a dice and then use the number to read one of the words on the line. Cover up the word and spell it. If you are correct then claim the word. Who will claim the most words in your house? e.g. If I roll a 4. I look along the line with the number 4 at the start. I select a word and then say it, ' child' and then someone from the other team covers it up. I have a go at spelling it. If I am correct I score 1 point and either cross it out or cover it up with a counter. Have fun!
