Halloween – Grapheme Spider Web!

by Jessica Elliott-Lawrence on 28 Oct 2014

Reinforce your students’ grapheme recognition with this free, quirky Halloween resource!

Instructions:

Print Grapheme Spider Web Template
Photocopy one spider web and fly word page per child
Give each child one spider web and one fly word page

NOTE: You will need to give each child a pair of scissors and a glue stick to complete the activity.

Have the children cut out each of the words on the fly word page
Instruct the children to read one word at a time, placing it in the correct grapheme section of the web (see example below)
If the word placement is correct, stick the word down
Give them a few minutes to decorate and colour in their phoneme spider webs. Display the finished work in the classroom as a festive holiday creation

We have included a blank spider web and fly word page for differentiation. Use single graphemes to make the activity easier, and more advanced word patterns to make the activity more difficult.
