Description
Spelling Rowing is a board game for fourth-grade students that focuses on learning four spelling rules. Players must apply the different spelling rules to discover which boat will cross the finish line first in a rowing race in Boston, USA.
The targeted spelling rules are as follows:
att, aff, app and acc at the beginning of a word;
anche, ande, angle and ange at the end of the word;
irr, ill and imm at the beginning of a word;
end at the end of a word.
Designed for 2 to 4 players, the game includes 70 question cards designed to reinforce the learning of these four rules, as well as a memory aid that presents these rules explicitly. The game also includes eight exception cards that help players realize that while the spelling rules apply most of the time, there are certain words for which they do not apply (e.g., In the sentence below, why is the underlined word an exception to one of the four rules? Your brother saw a beautiful salamander near the rock.).
