Spelling Tug of War: 10 Ready-to-Play Word Prompts
A 6–8 minute spelling round for learners practising common English words. Ask students to write the complete word before revealing the answer.
No accounts or student devices required. Split into two teams, alternate turns, and rotate who answers. On each turn everyone writes or discusses before the teacher reveals and judges. A correct response pulls the rope one step. Finish all 10 turns; a tie is possible. These are original practice prompts, not an assessment of curriculum mastery.
Teacher judges each response. Scores describe this game only.
