Practicing spelling words isn’t always on the “I can’t wait to do it” list for kids. That’s one reason I developed our Word Bump! games. It gives kids a chance to write their spelling words in a fun way with a buddy. And today, I’m sharing our Fall-Themed Word Bump!

This fall-themed Word Bump! completes the entire set of Word Bump! games that we’ve tried. These games are highly adaptable and work as a spelling center, during spelling time, to work on spelling words after school, or in a homeschool or tutoring setting.
All you need are two different colored dry erase markers, a plastic sleeve protector {or you could laminate your boards}, dice, and a list of words for each player. Players could share the same list or have two completely different lists, making it EASY to differentiate instruction if you have two players at two different levels of spelling {which is what I have in my home with my 3rd grader and Kindergartner.}
Players roll the dice {or die, depending on which game board you use}, write their spelling words from their word lists on the game board in hopes that their partner won’t “bump” off their word by erasing it after rolling the same number. For further instructions, see the 1st page of the FREE download {keep scrolling for that.}
