Bonus Spooky Spelling Game

blog home

Those of you who’ve been reading our blog for a long time will know that, here at Spellzone, we're huge Halloween fans. From exploring the gruesome origins of common English phrases to sharing frightful Words for Wednesday – if it’s scary, we’re there. 

This year to celebrate, we’ve launched an extra special spelling game! It’s only available until October 31st, so make sure you have a go while you can.

In Spooky Spelling, you have to catch creepy spiders in order to spell words. You can even choose a Halloween vocabulary list to practise with! 

Spelling games are great way to warm up at the start of a lesson, or to take a break with when you’re beginning to lose focus. And it’s not just Spooky Spelling that’s new! At Spellzone Headquarters, we’ve been busy developing a whole host of new games to keep you busy. 

Here are some perfect games for helping you practise your spellings without making it seem like a chore:

⦁    Help a shark find his catch of the day in Fishy Business. Click here to practise spelling the names of our under-the-sea friends.
⦁    Every second matters in our game-show-inspired Against the Clock. Practise spelling the units of time here.
⦁    Beat a cowboy at cards in Wild West and learn about different types of cattle in this vocabulary list.
⦁    Help a frog catch his dinner in Sticky Bugs. Click here for a vocabulary list about insects. 
⦁    The perfect game for a rainy day – fill your bucket with water droplets in Raindrops and practise spelling weather words at the same time. 
⦁    Protect your rocket from destruction in Asteroids. Click here for a vocabulary list about space. 
⦁    Stop the witch from getting more powers in Which Witch. Find a spooky vocabulary list here. 

To play any of our spelling games, choose a word list and click the football icon.

We also have printable activities which you can access by choosing a word list and clicking on print icon.

Stay tuned – next week we’ll be sharing spooky spelling lists!

"Thank goodness for Spellzone during this remote learning phase. The site is easy for students to navigate independently and they're really enjoying the activities and spelling games. You get an awful lot for your money with Spellzone. Really reassuring is the very prompt response with helpdesk queries. I've very rarely needed the helpdesk, but when I have, the issue has been addressed and sorted within a very short time."
