Morpheme Practice Game Halloween Theme
Studying morphology is one of the best ways to increase vocabulary and comprehension. When a student understands the meaningful parts of a word, that can truly understand the word and make connections. This game is meant to be a fun and purposeful way to practice matching an affix (prefix or suffix), a keyword for that affix, and the meaning (and part of speech for suffixes only). Just because a student is a little bit older doesn't mean they don't want to have some Halloween fun occasionally!
