Skills to practice:

Use this game to practice word formation through prefixes. The idea is for students to

experiment with some combinations of prefix and root.

Class Levels: Adaptable for all levels of students and all class sizes.

Requirements: Cut out the game resources below. Cut out the balls or players and use as

markers

How to play:

1. The general idea is for students to build new words using the prefixes at the sides.

Every time they build a new word they are allowed to advance to the next space if the

word is a sensible word. For example if the word is NEW - It can use the prefix RE- to

make a new word RENEW - Sentence could be- I have to renew my passport every five

years. Or How often do you renew your passport?

2. Note that we can use more than one prefix on some words like CYCLE - For example ²

BICYCLE or RECYCLE or UNICYCLE.

3. To start, the two players or teams should do ROCKs, PAPER, SCISSORS to decide who

starts first.

4. Both teams (players) keep advancing until they meet on one space. When they meet

they do ROCKS, PAPER and SCISSORS. The team that looses the ROCKS, PAPER &

SCISSORS guess, goes back to start. The winning side continues until they meet again.

Every time they, meet they do rocks, paper, and scissors to see who gets a red card.

The team that gets to the other team·s goal, wins.

5. When players get to the centre, it is a FREE space so they can create any sentence

they like.

6. If you decide to continue, try different key words or swap sides after the first side

wins.

7. Feel free to adapt this game for your classes as you like. Also feel free to modify or

add rules.

Tips for large classes:

This game is a board game, but can also be played in a large class. Photocopy the game on an

A3 or larger paper size, or project in on a projector if your class has one. Use blue tag to stick

team players as they advanced.
