Ball Pit word Game

A lot of my students have low high frequency word recall and need lots of opportunities to practice/recognise/write/say their high frequency words. I recently saw an activity similar to this where students use words in ball pit but practice them or complete them in different ways. 

So I went to the shops and grabbed some different types of balls to go in my ball pit - being a plastic container box.  How does it work?

Students use the recording sheet alongside the box and can play either by themselves or with a buddy. They take turns picking out a ball, saying the word that is on it and then writing it down on the recording sheet. Students would leave that ball they picked out of the box so students can pick it again. 

Another way they could play is with the buddy, once they have picked out the balls to swap recording sheets. Students could then ask each other how to spell a word that was picked out!

Lots of great fun using this resource and I can't wait to get this going in word work time!
