Word Searches using prefix, suffix and combining forms
Another way to create a word search is to list a prefix, suffix and/or combining form on the bottom of the word search puzzle with a blank line next to each one. The student would need to define each of the prefixes, suffixes and/or combining forms and the definition is the word listed in the puzzle. Many students just look for common words in the puzzle and then match the word to the correct prefix, suffix and/or combining form.
Great adaptation, Doreen!
Yes! I like this method because multiple choice tests are based on recognition of key word and then matching key word to answers; this prevents the distractor from being chosen. However, I see one improvements that can be made.
1. Instead of a solid line uses dashes for letters.
I like to convert all index cards to a large jeopardy board as a review for each announced test.
Thank you,

Suzanne, this is a great variation to make learners think more deeply. Super idea!
