Spelling Snooker 3

2. Objective
The main aim of Spelling Snooker is to improve your literacy through playing a game. In addition, you will improve your numeracy skills through the scoring process.

3. Scoring
1 - Red 2 - Yellow 3 - Green 4 - Brown 5 - Blue 6 - Pink 7 - Black

4. How to Play
Player 1 (P1) is the first to attempt spelling. P1 must spell a red (easy) word. If spelled correctly, P1 must choose a colour. The higher the score, the harder the spelling! If P1 spells a black (difficult) word correctly, 7 points are gained. After correctly spelling a colour word, P1 must then spell a red word again. So, spelling is carried out red/colour/red/colour, until P1 fails to spell a word correctly.

5. Passing Play
When P1 fails to spell a word, the play then goes to Player 2 (P2). The same rules apply. The game can be ended at any time but the final turn lies with P2 and must finish when failing to spell a word. The winner is the player with the highest score!
