Wizard Trail

Worksheet Description

Students help a wizard travel through a spellbook maze filled with present-action words ending in -ing. They must move only through words that are spelled incorrectly while avoiding all correctly formed choices. The activity includes many common verbs that follow different spelling rules when the ending is added. Students continue through the maze until they reach the magical crystals at the finish.

This worksheet helps students recognize common mistakes made when adding -ing to verbs. They practice checking whether a word keeps its ending, drops a final e, doubles the last consonant, or needs another spelling change. The maze format makes students compare words closely instead of copying forms without thinking. This strengthens spelling accuracy, proofreading, concentration, and understanding of present-action verbs.
