Why You’ll Love It

• Great for 4th Grade, 5th Grade, 6th Grade. 
• Helps students learn to build different forms of a word with the same root. 
• ​​The prefixes and suffixes that are included can be used with more than one root word. Wild cards are also included in the game to facilitate word building. 
• To enjoy the game, students should have some background in the roots. A Word Family Card is included for each key word that can be built in this game. These cards can be used to teach each the word family and then hung for a word wall. Also, a blank vocabulary worksheet is included. Students could either save these in a binder or glue them in a vocabulary notebook. 

*In test play with my children (10 and 14 years old), I noticed that they did not really understand how to build different forms of a word. For example, it wasn't easy for my 10 year old to change instruct to instruction. This helps tremendously.

Teachers Love It!

• “I used this in a test-prep session. Students were highly engaged and had the opportunity to practice a variety of skills!” – Carrie M. 
• “Definitely takes some extra skill to work out words and meaning. Nicely created activity. Best for more advanced language groups.” – Speeching Of That (TPT Seller) 
• “This was great for teaching root words. Very engaging! My only suggestion would be to add more root words or make an editable option so you could add ones you might eb required to teach specifically.” – Diandra G. 
• “I enjoyed using this as a center for my students and they were able to be independent, yet learn at the same time! Thanks!” Alyssa B.
