Designed for Junior KG & Senior KG

A 15‑Minute Fun Spelling Game Plan

This schedule is designed specifically for Junior KG and Senior KG attention spans. The goal is to keep it under 15 minutes a day so that spelling stays a fun game, not a boring chore.

Target: 3–5 new words per week + review of old favourites.

Why this routine works

Short, playful daily tasks keep your child engaged while steadily building spelling, vocabulary, and confidence.

  • 🎨
    Creative themes each day
    Artist, Musician, Builder, Detective, Storyteller, Show & Tell, and Rest.
  • ⏱️
    Under 15 minutes
    Perfect for little attention spans, easy to repeat week after week.
  • 💛
    Fun over pressure
    Focus on joyful learning and participation, not perfection.
You can reuse this same pattern with new words every week.

Weekly plan

The "15‑Minute Fun" weekly schedule

Pick 3–5 new words from the syllabus for the week, keep a few old favourites for review, and follow this playful theme for each day.

Day Theme Activity
Monday The Artist Look & Draw: Write a word from the syllabus. Have your child draw the word (for example, if the word is “SUN,” they draw a big yellow sun around the letters).
Tuesday The Musician Spelling Chant: Create a silly rhythm or song for the week’s words. Clap for every vowel! Example chant: S‑U (clap) -N!
Wednesday The Builder Tactile Play: Use play‑dough, sand, or magnetic letters to “build” the words. Feeling the shapes of the letters helps with cognitive memory.
Thursday The Detective Word Hunt: Hide the written words around the room. When they find one, they have to say the letters out loud to “capture” it.
Friday The Storyteller Context Day: Ask your child to use the word in a sentence about their favourite toy or friend. This builds the communication skills mentioned in your goals.
Saturday Show & Tell Mini‑Bee: Do a low‑pressure “mock” School Level round. Give them a high‑five or a sticker for every effort made, regardless of the result!
Sunday Rest Day Read Aloud: No spelling today—just read a storybook together to spark that love for language.

Tip: You can keep the same structure every week, only swapping in new words as your child progresses.

Pro‑tips by level

Adapting the routine as your child progresses

Use the same 15‑minute structure, but gently adjust Saturday’s “Mini‑Bee” to match the competition level.

🏫
School Level

Focus on simple 3–4 letter words and building confidence in front of a small “audience” (even stuffed animals count!).

📝
National Prelims

Introduce slightly longer words and practise “listening carefully” to the word before starting to spell.

🏆
National Championship

Practise clear pronunciation and calm spelling. Here, the reward is poise, focus, and unexpected confidence.

🌍
Primary Colours (International)

Add words from different cultures or categories to prepare for the global flavour of the International Championship.

Important reminder

For parents of Junior & Senior KG

At the Junior and Senior KG level, participation is the victory.

If they get a word wrong, simply say:

“That was a great try! Let’s see if we can find the hidden letter we missed.”

1Keep it light

End every session with a smile, a hug, or a high‑five, not with marks or scores.

2Celebrate effort

Stickers, stars, or a tiny “dance break” are enough to make the practice feel like a game.

3Repeat weekly

The magic is in consistency—same simple structure, new words, and lots of encouragement.
