Spelling with Cheez-Its

I love the Scrabble Junior Cheez-Its. Whenever it�s my son�s turn to take a snack to school and I�m too busy (or lazy) to whip up muffins or trail mix, these are my go-to purchase.

Since my son often does his afterschool activities while eating a snack, using Cheez-Its for our activity was perfect! I created a worksheet with some blanks and a grid.

Then I added the snack crackers to the grid, being careful not to include any letter more than once.

Next I told my son to look and see what words he could make with the letters. For now, I let him move the crackers to try-out different combinations but eventually, we�ll play this like Boggle, where he�ll have to find the words in the grid, without moving the letters.

 

This may be one of the simplest activities we�ve done, but it was deliciously fun and can easily be repeated over and over again without getting boring.

My son came up with some great words � including the name of his new LEGO Ninjago figure Zane.

Sometimes it�s fun to play with your food.

Just ask my son!
