About this activity

A one-player press-your-luck game show. Each round the host models one word, then the student builds, spells and splits words from Greek and Latin roots, prefixes and suffixes; right answers earn spins on an 18-square Big Board where a Glitch can wipe the points on the line.

What students learn

  • B2.1: read and spell complex words using Greek and Latin roots, prefixes and suffixes
  • B2.1: apply spelling changes where a suffix or prefix joins a base (y to i, silent e, doubling, in- to il-/im-, -mit to -mission)
  • B2.2: work out what an unfamiliar word in a sentence means by building its meaning from its parts
