Tic-Tac-Toe Spelling Game

Take a look at one of my spelling bee games here. The full text also appears below:

Directions:

1. Draw a tic-tac-toe game on the board.

2. Divide students into two groups. Assign one team to be the X's, and one team to be the O’s.

3. To play, one member from each team goes to the board. Pronounce a spelling word for the X team.

4. If the X player correctly spells the word, he may put an X on the tic-tac-toe game. If he spells the word incorrectly, he may not put an X on the game. A new member of his team goes to the board to wait for her turn.

5. Then pronounce a new word for the O team and proceed in the same manner.

6. The first team to get three X's or three O’s in a row wins the round.
