Instructional Ideas
- Create several sets of this game that you can pull out when some group practice is necessary
- Play one game as a class to start to scaffold the process
Classroom Considerations
- While similar to another resource by this publisher (also an affix game), this particular version takes the complexity a bit farther and requires learners to define the affix and come up with a sentence using a word that includes that affix
- The final step is a peer evaluation, but steps for this activity are not included
Pros
- It comes with a game board (one blank and one filled out), work pages for students to write on, and a die to cut out and paste together
- Requires game players to demonstrate understanding of affixes while still keeping the idea that they are playing
Cons
- None
