Volcano Escape

Worksheet Description

Students escape an erupting volcano by following a path made only of incorrectly spelled words. Every word should follow the final y to i rule, so students must locate the forms that contain mistakes and move through them toward safety. The maze includes plural nouns, past-tense verbs, comparisons, adverbs, and nouns ending in -ness. The goal is to reach the house at the finish before the lava arrives.

This worksheet strengthens students’ ability to identify when the spelling rule has not been used correctly. They practice spotting words that wrongly keep the y or contain another ending mistake. Because the maze depends on accurate choices, students must inspect every word before moving. This develops proofreading, concentration, spelling memory, and quick recognition of incorrect forms.

This worksheet is part of our changing y to i worksheet series.
