SpinandSpell.com is a wonderful spelling interactive game for the SMART Board. There are five different picture/word banks to choose from: In and Around the Home, What We Wear, What We Eat, How We Get There, and The Animal Kingdom. Choose a category and click on a picture (or “Show me the Word”) to hear the word spoken aloud. Click or touch the first letter of the word, the wheel will spin, and your letter will appear below. Continue until the word is spelled and click Submit to see if it was spelled correctly. This is great for all ages because the difficulty varies based on the picture/word chosen. Have fun!

I guess you can tell I’m really into these word/fridge magnets! I found these while browsing the http://elementary-technology.com blog.  This interactive is offered by MagPo.com (MAGnetic POetry) on their Kids’ Poetry Page. There are several different word kits (or word banks) to choose from, such as the Kids Kit, First Words, Best Friends, and Storymaker. Each kit contains words related to the kit title, and these words can be placed on a variety of backgrounds to create poems, stories, or sentences. The creation can be saved and sent to up to 3 people via e-mail. For more magnets, please see my previous posts. Below is a screenshot of the Kids Kit.
