Young scholars practice spelling words by swatting fake insects.  In this vocabulary lesson plan, students participate in a spelling game in which teams must spell a word correctly one letter at a time.  Young scholars may fix one mistake in their spelling, after which they swat a plastic fly to complete the word.
