I wanted to do something fun, so for the last day of Summer Explorers, I picked up these Scrabble Junior Cheez-its at the store. The kids got a kick out of them! I divided the class into small groups of 2-3 students with a bunch of cheez-its. Throughout the morning they had a few tasks to accomplish with their group.
1. Spell words I told them - I used words from our 1st grade Dolch Word List.
2. Spell out the entire ABC's in order. (If they were missing a letter they could write it on the paper towel and leave a blank space where it should go.)
3. See how many words from a word family they could spell with the cheez-its on their desk. (ex. cat, mat, bat, rat)
I figured they would want to enjoy some of the cheez-its, so I bought some generic ones for snacking! This activity was definitely a hit!
What else could you do with these Scrabble Junior Cheez-its in the classroom? Leave your ideas below in the comments!
