Fishing for Spelling Words

This post may contain affiliate links.

Today we tried a new and fun way to do our spelling.  We went fishing for spelling words!

My kids found a big stick outside.  We turned it into a fishing pole with some ribbon and a magnet tied onto the end.

We brought our spelling and sight word lists into the bathroom with us.  The kids had to fish out the letters to spell their words.  Then they wrote the words on the dry erase board.

They couldn’t resist just climbing in… then they started just spelling the words on the side of the tub.

Another fun variation- Pull the curtain so they can’t see the letters. Have them fish out four or five letters and see what words they can spell with those letters.

You and your kids have got to try fishing for spelling words. It will make your spelling lessons so much more fun. I promise!
