Make Your Own Chatterbox Words Origami Game
Make Your Own Chatterbox Words Origami Game

How many different fun ways do our kids need in order to practise spelling their sight words? The more the better, because the more fun they have, the more they learn! Kids are programmed by nature to learn by playing games.

The Chatterbox Words game is an origami game that children love to make and play. Enter words here, print it out, and you will have an amusing way for kids to practise spelling words.

Enter the words to be printed in this game. Then press MAKE GAME and print out the origami page. Cut out the square, fold according to the instructions, and then you're ready to play!

How to fold :

  • Fold the square in half vertically and horizontally, then unfold.
  • With the blank side facing you, fold all 4 corners in to the center. Turn the folded square over.
  • Fold all 4 new corners in to the center.
  • Press the center down so that the new 4 corners stick up into the air. The original 4 corners should be pointing down.
  • Slip your 2 pointer fingers and 2 thumbs from underneath into the origami game, each finger in between an original corner and the underside of the center.

How to play :

  • Your pointer fingers and thumbs should be in the origami game from underneath, with the finger tips fitting into the 4 points of the origami construction.
  • Alternate having your 2 pointer fingers together and the finger and thumb of each hand pinched together, so that the origami contruction is opening and closing like a chirping bird's beak.
  • Ask your friend to read each of the words displayed on the outside of the origami game and to choose one word. Spell out the word, opening and closing the "bird's beak" as you say each letter.
  • At the end of spelling this word, four of the inside words will be displayed. Ask your friend to read them and to choose one.
  • Spell out that chosen word, opening and closing the "bird's beak" again as you say each letter. At the end of this spelling, four of the inside words will be displayed. It may be the same four words or it may be the other four words.
  • Ask your friend to read these 4 words and to choose one again. Open up the chosen flap.
  • Read out the sentence under the flap that describe some actions to do. Your friend should carry out these actions!

...parenting tip of the moment

For many new parents, a Sleeping Baby becomes all they ask out of life...Restaurants, malls, stadiums...I've actually gone over to strangers and "shushed" them.

"I see you're having a party, but couldn't you all sing Happy Birthday to your mom in the parking lot? My kid is trying to sleep - shhhh!!!"

quoted from "Babyhood"
by Paul Reiser of television's "Mad About You", pages 147-148


Small children should be supervised by a caregiver when at a computer, to ensure no accidents occur that could hurt the child and that no equipment gets broken.
