Sometimes it’s hard to find word work for older kids. This one involves syllables, and I’ll share another one later in this same post about rhyming. It’s a great way to reinforce concepts taught at previous grades and get a good review in.
First up in our word work for older kids – students created a list of words based on syllables. They had to write a one, then two, then three, four, and finally five syllable word. They worked in teams. You would think this would be incredibly simple for my older elementary students – but it wasn’t! We had our share of mistakes, but that was ok because I sent the students on the lookout for them. So it worked out alright. 🙂
The next word work for older kids was one where the students got to sit at on their desks. {Those are their favorite!}
Fun activity for big kids! 🙂 I'm pinning. 🙂

Nice! I remember loving to sit on a desk in Elementary–it was a rare privilege : )
