Description
The Spelling Parade is a board game for third-grade elementary school students that focuses on learning four spelling rules. Players must apply the various spelling rules to discover which character will be the first to finish the fashion show in Milan, Italy, without falling on stage.
The targeted spelling rules are as follows:
ette and esse at the end of a word;
ée at the end of feminine words;
e at the end of feminine words;
ment at the end of a word.
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? I observe a comet in the sky.).
