Students run to the chalk board to spell a given word, pick up a basketball, dribble to the hoop and make one shot, run the basketball back to their starting place to score points for their team.

Young scholars are in their own personal space with a playground ball and a partner. They are given a spelling word from their classroom or shoolwide list. They bounce the ball to their partner saying a letter as they pass the ball.

Students work on their spelling skills by spelling a word to get unfrozen if tagged.
