Inclusions & Gameplay Methods

1. The first one encourages children to pick up a card from the mixed-up cauldron alongside the spell word that matches the associated clip art template accurately.
2. The alternative method involves placing the spelled-out clip art into their respective mat 'cauldrons', which presents an imaginative potion-making exercise while improving their spelling abilities. Preparing this activity is straightforward - print your desired pages then laminate them to enhance their longevity.

If you wish to use it with larger groups of students during lessons, ensure that you have multiple copies made. This set comes readily printable so all that's needed beforehand is cutting out the illustrated templates.
