Here are the mechanics of our game:

 Each group will move around to
every station I prepared around the
room to examine the scrambled
letters given at every station.
 You must identify the Pictures and
write your answers on paper.
 Once you already construct the
sentence using preposition, you can
move on to the next one, but there
is no returning to the station.
 I’ll give you 10 minutes to finish the
task and select a representative to
write your answers on the board.

and Suffix.”

Discussion:
Understanding the structure of words
involves knowing about prefixes and
suffixes.

Prefixes are added at the beginning of a

word and change its meaning. For
example, "un-" means "not," so "unhappy"
means "not happy."

Suffixes are added at the end of a word

and also change its meaning. For
instance, "-er" often

means "one who does," so "teacher"

means "one who teaches."

Knowing prefixes and suffixes helps break

down complex words and understand
unfamiliar ones. It's like decoding the
building blocks of language, which can
improve vocabulary and comprehension
skills.
