Homemade Spelling Game

Monster's Mealtime
 
 
This little monster posting box was made from a cardboard soap powder box and some card. You can use counters or sweets to play a fun spelling game. The counters or sweets are food for the monster ,the child is given the same amount of words to try and spell. If they misspell a word they lose the sweet to the monster.
In my house it always works best with sweets May doesnt get sweets that often so its the best bribe!
