What are some of the questions in this game?
This game has a total of 62 prefixes & suffixes academic questions, with varying difficulty. Here are some examples:
- The word recommit means to? (A: Commit again)
- What words have a prefix but no suffix?
- Choose a prefix, a base word, and a suffix from the table above to make a word that means [meaning of a multisyllabic word.]
- Which word means the same as the highlighted words?
- Choose the phrase that means the same as [word with prefix and/or suffix.]
PLEASE NOTE: We highly recommend that you clear the computer’s cache after each group so that the answers are erased from the computer. This is because the computer will remember answers until you clear the cache. This means that if students from different classes use the same computers, the answers that the 1st class put in will be visible to the 2nd class.
Grab it now, and see how much your students will love it!
