Ordinal Numbers- Spelling Games

Ordinal numbers spelling games

 

Asking for bad hints spelling game

One person chooses a word from below. Someone asks “How many letters are there?”, then students take turns asking “What’s the first/ second/ third/ fourth/ …th letter?” until someone guesses what the word is. Each person guesses the word after the last person’s question about letters (not after their own question about letters), so you shouldn’t ask about letters which will make it too easy for the next person to guess the word.

 

Letter by letter ordinal numbers spelling game

Your partner will dictate a word slowly letter by letter by saying “The first letter is…”, “The second letter is…”, etc until someone guesses what the word is. If your guess is wrong, you can’t guess the word when the next letter is given (but you can guess again after that).

Do the same game but without writing the letters down, just remembering what your partner said.

Do the same, but with your partner saying the letters out of order, e.g. first saying “The sixth letter is X”. Your teacher will tell you if you can write or not.

 

Ordinal numbers hangman

Your partner or the teacher will write a word as just gaps for each letter, e.g. “_ _ _ _ _” for “Pants”. Take turns asking “Which letters are A/ B/ …?” until the whole word has been spelled. If you are playing for points, you get one point for each letter which is added to the word after your question, but lose a point if there are none of that letter in the word.

 

Yes/ no ordinal numbers questions spelling games

Your partner or the teacher will say a word and draw blanks for each letter in it. Take turns asking questions like “Is the second letter P?” until the whole word is completed.
