Word Wall Activities
I love playing around with the Word Wall at this time of the year. Making Your Word Wall More Interactive by Creative Teaching Press is filled with some great games and activities. I know this sounds like a commercial, but honestly, this book has been one of my best purchases.
Last week we played Flip It Down! and the children just loved it. Great spelling practice! And next week we'll try the Word Wall Memory activity. You can always hear a pin drop in the room when they are working with a partner to try to remember as many words from the wall as possible.
There are independent, small group and whole group activities in the book. If you have a minute, check it out. It's just perfect for this time of the year.

Hi Dee, My copy arrived yesterday! It looks really good. I think I'll try the "Flip It Down" activity you mentioned. Half my class is at the bike rodeo right now, so I'm "babysitting" the other half ... hence the blogging -- ha ha!
