Prefixes and Suffixes
By Ramie

Clip to ScrapBook   
I have a stack of prefix cards and suffix cards on the table with a group of 3 or four students. One card is turned over and they start the timer for 2 minutes. They have to write every word they can think of with that prefix or suffix. After 2 minutes each person shares the words they have created. For every word that a student has that someone else has not thought of they receive one point. Of course, if the word does not make sense or if the prefixes and suffixes are not used correctly the word does not count.

My students love to play this game in centers.
