Getting students interested in spelling and vocabulary lessons can be difficult. Luckily, the OISE Library has a number of different games that help students learn while allowing them to have fun. Word Topper is an excellent resource for those looking for a fun way to encourage vocabulary-building in young learners. This word game is meant for students ages eight and up, and up to eight players can enjoy the game at once. This makes it a good resource for breakout groups or small classrooms.

Each card has a letter with which players can build worlds for points, and there are five different wild cards to keep the game going at an exciting pace. Each letter card clearly indicates the number of points that it is worth. Students can challenge themselves to use their vocabularies in new ways, as building bigger and more complex words means more possible points. This game could also be a helpful resource for practicing spelling in a fun way. Word topper comes in a compact box and contains a total of 137 cards, or 130 letter cards, 4 wild cards and 3 direction cards. The rules are explained in a clear way so that students can begin to play quickly.
