Have you ever used dry beans in an educational activity?

We’ve used them as math counters, used them in art, and even used them as the base of a sensory bin. There are so many things you can do.

That inexpensive bag of beans has been used a lot. Plus, the dry beans will last forever.

Now, we’re using them for some fun spelling practice.

Are you looking for some fun spelling practice ideas? Here's a great idea, make words with dry beans. It's a fun way to practice.

How to set-up this fun spelling practice idea

Pour your dry beans in a small container, print out a spelling list, and provide an open table for creating.

That’s it for the set-up. Easy, isn’t it?

You can make it as inviting as you would like. I added the beans to a small basket and wrote the spelling words on index cards.

Write your spelling words with dry beans

Using the spelling list for reference, have your child spell out each of their words. They’ll use the dry beans to form each of the letters in the words.

This activity, obviously, takes a lot longer time than just writing the words. But, it gives your child a chance to really study their list as they build their words letter by letter.

Hopefully, this is a nice and relaxing way to study. Your fingers are creating, your fine motor skills are getting a work-out, and you’re concentrating on the words one letter at a time.

It’s a nice change from practice tests!
