Spelling Battleships

Turn spelling practice into an exciting strategy game with Spelling Battleships — a fun, low-prep activity that helps children practise and remember spelling words while playing a familiar and much-loved game.

Using simple grids and their own spelling lists, children hide words on their board and take turns calling out coordinates to “sink” their opponent’s spellings. Each correct guess reveals a letter, encouraging careful listening, accurate spelling, and logical deduction as the game unfolds.

Perfect for paired work, small groups, interventions, or home learning, Spelling Battleships keeps children engaged while repeatedly exposing them to key spelling patterns in a meaningful, memorable way.
