This ‘Roll a Suffix’ game worksheet is a fun and interactive way for Year 2 children to develop their understanding of suffixes.
The game is simple to play. Each child takes turns rolling a dice and moving forward to the next word that matches the suffix they have rolled. The suffixes are as follows: -ment; -ness; -ful; -less; -ly.
Players must read the words they land on and say them aloud with their suffixes. This helps reinforce spelling rules and pronunciation. The game continues until one player reaches the end of the board and is declared the winner.
Some words will be familiar, whereas others may introduce new vocabulary, helping children expand their word knowledge.
This suffix worksheet supports key spelling objectives in the Year 2 curriculum, making it an excellent addition to literacy lessons.
Use it as a warm-up, small group task or even as a fun homework challenge. By engaging in this hands-on game, children develop their spelling, vocabulary and understanding of how suffixes work in words, all while having fun.
