Students are in pairs with a sheet of dot paper (like that used in math class) with 4 dots X 5 dots. In the centre of each set of 4 dots, is written a number 1-9 (these are already on the paper). Students are in pairs and have a spelling list and the dot paper. Student A says a spelling word and B must spell it. It the word is spelled correctly, B connects two dots. Student B now says a spelling word and A must spell it. If the word is spelled correctly, A draws a line from an existing one to another dot. If a student completes a box around a number, s/he gets that number of points. When all the words have been used, recycle them. When the dot paper is full, tally the points.
