WHO ARE THESE GAMES FOR?
These activities are designed for students in the late Derivational Relations stage who have a strong foundational understanding of spelling, meaning, connections, roots, and affixes — upper elementary through early middle grades. Because all games and activities across Unit 11 use similar formats, you only have to teach students how to play once — then enjoy the consistency and versatility all year long!
