No More Prefix Worksheets! Let’s Play Instead!

This Prefix Game – I Have, Who Has? is a fun and exciting way for students to review and practise identifying and defining words with prefixes. Students read statements and determine the word being described.

To play, students are each given a card. The student with the first card begins to play by reading their card aloud. Play passes to the student who has the card containing the answer. Each card links to another, and the game continues until all cards are read and matched.

Through this activity, students will show their ability to read and define words with the prefixes re, un, pre, and dis and enhance listening and speaking skills in the classroom.

The Importance of Learning Prefixes in Vocabulary Development

Learning prefixes is a powerful way to boost students’ vocabulary and reading comprehension. By understanding common prefixes such as un-, re-, pre-, and dis-, students can quickly decode unfamiliar words, expand their word knowledge, and strengthen confidence in both reading and writing. This skill not only improves literacy but also enhances critical thinking, making it easier for learners to grasp complex texts across subjects.
