Wordle - This game challenges players to create as many words as possible from a set of letters within a certain time limit. It's a great way to improve spelling skills and increase vocabulary. Pro tip: Have a younger student be the one who picks the word from the included list and be the one who puts the yellow and green tiles on older players words. It's like on election night when you never spent more time looking at a map of the US. They will carefully look over words and learn them too.

Also at home, let them use one of their favorite books to make words. Bonus points if they can have them interweave like a crossword puzzle. This keeps my kids busy for a long time!

 

Scrabble Slam - This fast-paced game requires players to create words by changing one letter at a time. It's a fun way to improve spelling and vocabulary skills. Pro-Tip: Take this one on the road, it's very portable and a lot of fun!
