Speed Spelling is a fast-paced literacy game for 5-8 year olds! This fun educational game, with unique and addicting gameplay, is sure to make spelling practice fun. Players take turns to spell words before time runs out - if time runs out in the middle of spelling a word, they must pass it on to the next player to complete it! The game is full of surprises and can change quickly - kids will have fun racing against the clock and pinching other players' words! For younger children the game can be played without the hourglass, to allow them to focus on each word. Speed Spelling can be used to develop letter recognition skills before becoming a fun game. Once the game is complete, children can be encouraged to talk about the words in front of them. Speed Spelling is an exciting reinterpretation of the Pass the Word game.
