Spelling for your school + try our new games

First, an ask. Then, something fun.

My ask:

Teachers, if you are enjoying using Spelling Test Buddy, please tell your instructional leads and school/district administrators about Spelling Test Buddy!

School budget season for the next school year is starting now, and Spelling Test Buddy is a great addition for elementary, middle school, and even high school intervention / ESL. You can even send a pre-written email to your lead or admin using our Refer a Colleague form.

With our School and District plans, we can support the entire buying processes too (POs/Invoices, data security/privacy discussions, etc.). Just set up the intro, and we can take it from there.

Now, something fun:

One frequent request I get is for spelling games. Many of you have used Spelling City (VocabularySpellingCity), which offered spelling games as a part of the software.

I want Spelling Test Buddy to do the same! So, this week, I was able to use AI to help create a couple of games!

I’d love for you to try them and give me feedback. Are they fun/helpful? What other kinds of games are you looking for?

• Word Scramble Race: decode the word from your word list. Try to beat the clock.

• Garden Spelling: create a beautiful garden in this Hangman-inspired game.

Here is a short YouTube video showing Word Scramble Race:

And one showing Garden Spelling:

Do you like these games? Would your students like them? While the word list powering these games is currently fixed, my plans for them (and other ones like it) are:

• Tie it to Word Lists that you have created

• Let teachers assign this as an in-class or at-home activity

• Track and report on results

What do you think?

What games should we be building?
