Last fall there were a lot of spelling and sentence building duplo block ideas on Pinterest. I started thinking about using the same idea with building blocks. I scored a big bag of Megablocks at the Goodwill for a few dollars. I also had a few address labels left over from Christmas. I downloaded the Avery Template for the labels and typed in a variety of root words, prefixes and suffixes. The labels were too big for the blocks so I cut them in half.
Then I sorted the Megablocks into three colors: red (root words), yellow (prefixes), and blue (suffixes). I attached the labels to each side of the block.
Voila! Your very own word making tools!
I love your idea! I teach kinders so this would be too much for them… However, this could easily be adapted by doing onset & rime, CVC, or syllables, to name a few. Just thought I’d share. Thanks for sharing your ideas!
