I am s student teacher who has to teach a lesson with the spelling words and another lesson on exclamations and command sentences, I wanted some way to get that off the worksheet and in to the students hands. If any one has any ideas please let me know.

I teach Spanish. When we do spelling word practice we go to the board (5 kids; 1 from each team). I say the word and the first to spell it correctly gets a point. They then get the chance to make a basket. I bought a hoop and ball for $1.00 at a dollar store. If they make it they get a point. One of the best things about it is that it is not easy to make. Every single time I play the most athletic ones never seem to be able to do it... and the least athletic one ends up being the "hero" for scoring a basket.
I have also played word scrambles. Put the kids in small groups and give them the words all scrambled. The first group to unscramble them and have them spelled correctly wins a piece of candy. I usually give 2nd and 3rd place too. I remind them that they have to be very quiet; if they shout out BIRTHDAY! it gives the answer to the whole class.
For commands I have had the kids write out 10 commands in the class that can be acted out. I do this in small groups. Then they can as a group act it out and have the rest of the class guess like charades. They must guess it in the form of a command.
When I introduce commands I usually say "Be QUIET! Sit STILL! LISTEN! Do your HOMEWORK! Make your BED!" About that time they realize that I am giving examples and not yelling at them. They always think that it is funny because I never yell. It surprises them. I then go on to explain that as kids they hear commands all day long. I ask them to give examples. You can have them speak them or you can have 6 kids or so go up and write them on the board. We also discuss polite or implied commands like "Have a seat."
You can play concentration with the spelling words and their meanings in small groups.
You can make a small board game. In order to move the number that they roll on the dice they have to spell the word that they draw correctly.
Hope that you can use some of these!

It appears like your theory desires some tweaking. you're saying there is no cut back to what number enjoying cards you may play in a turn? What happens if somebody attracts their total deck in a single turn to drag out an uber-blend? Any creature can kill any creature? what's to provide up you from throwing the worst creature interior the interest against the biggest creature interior the interest? additionally having a deck cut back of fifty plus 5 copies of each card sounds extraordinarily broken and not that exciting. in case you contain 5 copies of each thing on your deck, it is basically 5 distinctive enjoying cards. additionally the numbers look a tad bit unwieldy; 10, 20, 30, and so on. for assaults?

I have a document with many games for the classroom; some are specific for spelling / vocabulary, others can be easily adapted to any topic. E-mail me your address and I will send it to you.

Scrabble is a really good spelling game.
