Split the children into two (or more) teams of equal numbers. Give all teams the same word made up of only the number of letters there are people in that team i.e. if there are 3 people in each team only give words made of 3 letters. All teams now have to spell out that word using their hands, fingers or body (YMCA style). The team who spells the word correctly and makes it readable is the winner. If you have children who are quite able spellers, you could give time limits to make it more challenging.
