Before we dive into our lesson, let's set the scene for our adventure!
Activity: Unfolding the Treasure Map

Introduction: Gather the class around and present the map. Explain that our mission today is to explore this island and gather treasures by completing spelling challenges.
Story Setup: Share a brief tale:
"Once upon a time, on the enchanted island of Spelltopia, words were scattered everywhere! The only way to collect the magical treasures hidden within the island was to spell them correctly. You are all brave adventurers ready to tackle the challenges and claim the treasures!"
Engagement: Ask students:
Transition to Games: After receiving their enthusiastic responses, tell the students that the first step on their journey is to visit "Vowel Valley" where they will face the first spelling game.
This engaging introduction will excite students about the lesson and set a positive tone, making them eager to participate in the spelling games to follow. Let’s get started on our quest for words!
