Spelling and Vocabulary
Learning Chocolate

Learning Chocolate web site aims to help students to memorize vocabulary in an easy and efficient way, by using pictures, sounds and games. Try our games and enjoy learning, like eating chocolate.

Knoword

Knoword is a fun and challenging game that tests your ability to match definitions to words. Knoword is played like this; you're presented with the first letter of a word, its part of speech, and the definition. You then have to fill in the correct spelling of the word. If you enter the correct word, you earn points. If you don't get it right, you lose points.  Best suited to be use by students in middle school and high school.

Vocabulary

Having fun with words begins at an early age and continues through the years. From Shakespeare’s quibbles to Twain’s colloquialisms, word play is an important part of language development at any age.

Vocab Maker

The Vocabulary Worksheet Maker: Choose your Vocabulary List, then make 29 different worksheets.

Spelling City
  • Over 42,000 spelling words with customizable sentences and definitions
  • A REAL person who says each word and sentence
Big IQ Kids

The free spelling game gives your child a bit of spelling practice. The Spelling Program uses word lists to simulate a live word test and to help the child practice. You can also create your own word lists. Then for a spot of fun, you and the whole family can take part in the Spelling Game Contests on the site which is playable by grade level (with one for adults).

Catch the Spelling

Hone your spelling and vocabulary skills on the lineup of word tests. It is fun too as you have to catch the letters to spell the word given on top of the screen. Other catching exercises like Voice of America (VOA) Special English Nouns or the ones that cover other word categories.

Spin and Spell

This is a simple enough Flash game where a word has to be spelt correctly by looking at a picture. You have to spell it out by ‘dialing’ a wheel and selecting the right letter. This game can be played alone or with a friend. The simplicity of this game makes it just right for the very early graders.

Visual Spelling Bee

The well known online word app throws two challenges – a Tournament Spelling Bee and theCommunity Spelling Bees. In the former, your goal is to get as many right spellings you can to move up the leaderboard. It is challenging because the words also adapt to your performance. You will hear the recording of the word and see its definition before you guess the right spelling. As the test is adaptive, it is suitable for all age groups and skill levels. In the Community Spelling Bee challenge, you can do the same thing but on word lists created by subscribed members.

The Times Spelling Bee

You can have a feel of a real world Spelling Bee competition. The Spelling Bee Training Area is a bit unforgiving as one mistake gets you the boot. If you do well here, try out theSpelling Challenge and any of its three levels. Then in Head to Head you can invite a friend and have a face-off.

Tumble Bees

The Pogo.com word game takes your help to build a honeycomb for the bees with the rightly spelled words. Each word you make correctly will fill the honey pot with honey.  You can sign up for free or play it as a guest. As a reward you get tokens.

Spelling Bee Games

The bee makes a return and claps along as you go through 25 words. It’s just ‘buzzerific’ if you manage to get them right. For a few pointers on how to play the game with your child, read the instructions for parents.

Miss Spell's Class

Play it online for free.  The 20 word challenge tests both your speed and accuracy as you have to decide which of the words in the list are misspelt. The word practice is pretty handy for a Spelling Bee contest as the lists generally have the more commonly misspelled words on Dictionary.com.

Webster's Spell It

This site could be your authoritative practice area as it is a collaboration with the Scripps National Spelling Bee. The study site gives you 1150 words, divided into sections by language of origin. The site says that – studying language of origin will enable you to learn and remember several important rules, tips, and guidelines for successfully spelling words in English. The site is not actually a game but a study course for acing the Spelling Bee competitions.

YouTubes' Interactive Spelling Bee

We have covered this unique interactive spelling bee challenge in Angela’s excellent post on The Top 10 Interactive YouTube Games. Christy Carlson Romano gives you 100 words from 20 different categories and you get to help the contestants by clicking one among three choices on the screen. The interactive spelling bee game is really fun as it is laced with humor.
