Here's another idea for Wordwork Workshop!!!! Play the "Dot Game" as your students review high frequency words or their sorts.

Directions for the Dot Game!! (By Deb) Number of players 2 to 4 players Supplies: Dot Game Template, colored pencils (you can use white boards and markers if you wish) Goal: Build the most squares on the gameboard.

1. Each player has a different colored pencil. 2. Player 1 is given a word to spell or to write on their white board. 3. If Player 1 spells the word correctly they can connect two dots on the gameboard either horizontally or vertically, if they spell the word incorrectly they do not connect any dots. 4. Player 2 is given a word to spell or to write on their white board. 5. If Player 2 spells the word correctly they can connect two dots on the gameboard either horizonatally or vertically, if they spell the word incorrectly they do not connect any dots. 6. Play continues as they review their high frequency word or sorts. The goal is continue to connect dots to build squares!!! If you draw the last line for a square you write your initials in the square. The students with the most squares at the end is the winner!!!
