Games Using Scrabble Tiles 2

Create a crossword and then provide learners with the letters that they need to solve the crossword.  You could print/draw the grid on a large sheet of paper so that the tiles fit to the grid.  Again, the act of moving the tiles around is a useful one because learners are less worried about making an error.  Once they are sure that they have spelled a word correctly they could then fill in their own copy of the crossword.

Crossword type scrabble game pads are commercially available.  These can be useful but it is helpful for learners to rehearse spellings of key words, vocational words and patterns that are being discussed during class.

Programmes that create crosswords are commercially available and can be a useful investment if you intend to provide learners with routine fillers/homework.
