A Party of Plurals
Consolidate knowledge of suffixes with this fun, no prep game! Students work their way around the gameboard, landing on the suffixes. Students are then required to choose a word from the word pile and add the suffix –s, -es, ies or –ves, ensuring they spell the word correctly on the recording sheet. A perfect game for literacy rotations, spelling groups or fast finishers! This activity is part of a larger unit of work for Year 4- Spelling Rules.
