Grade Level – 3rd
Activity Time: 30 minutes
Objective(s): The students will review the spelling words.
South Carolina Standards:
R3: The student will use a knowledge of graphophonics and word analysis to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words and to read texts with understanding.
R3.2: Begin identifying word origins and derivatives to determine the meaning of words and phrases and to refine word choice.
R3.3: Begin applying a knowledge of roots and affixes to analyze the meanings of complex words.
R3.4: Demonstrate the ability to use word families to generate and decode unfamiliar words.
R3.7: Demonstrate the ability to identify common prefixes such as un-, re-, pre-, bi-, mis-, dis-, and suffixes such as -er, -est, -ful to determine the meanings of words.
Procedures:
1. The teacher will tell the students that they are going to have a spelling test Friday.
2. The teacher will tell the students that they are going to review the spelling words.
3. The teacher will tell the students to get out their newsletter with their spelling words on it.
4. Then the teacher writes two of the spelling words on the dry-erase board (ex. Farmer, useful, softly) that has the ending -er, -ful, and -ly.
5. The teacher will ask one student to say the word that she has written on the board and then the rest of the class will repeat the word. The teacher will do this with the second and third word, as well.
6. Then the teacher will ask the student she had called on to tell what kind of suffix (ending) does the word have. The teacher will also ask the student to find a spelling word that has the same ending as the first word on the board. The teacher will call on other students to find words like the other two words that have similar suffixes.
7. The teacher will review how different suffixes change the meaning of the root word of the words.
8. After the teacher reviews suffixes, then the teacher and the students will look over the spelling words for the week. The teacher will call out the words and the students will repeat the words.
9. Next, the teacher will tell the students that they are going to play a game called Words Ball.
10. The teacher will tell them to clear everything off their desk.
11. Then the teacher will explain the rules of the game. (See attached sheet for the rules of the game).
12. The teacher and students will play the game for about fifteen minutes.
13. After the game has ended, the teacher will wrap up the lesson and game by reviewing again what suffixes are. Then she will call on students to tell her what a suffix is and to give an example of a suffix.
Materials:
Dry-erase board
Dry-erase markers
Newsletter sheets
Nerf ball

Assessment:
The teacher will assess the students informally. The teacher will question the students on their knowledge of suffixes. She will make sure that they understand suffixes and see if they have any questions.
Rules for the Game: Words Ball
1. The students will stand up and push their chairs all the way
underneath the desk.
2. The teacher will throw the ball to one student.
3. The teacher will tell the students to spell a spelling word and tell
what the suffix is of that word, if the student spells the word
correctly and gives the correct suffix, then the rest of the class
will spell out the word together.
4. Then the student will throw the ball to someone who has not had
a chance.
5. The student who is throwing the ball will throw the ball to where
the student will be able to catch the ball. The person will not throw
the ball at a person’s head or any other body part that could hurt
that person.
6. If the student does not spell the word correctly or gives the
incorrect suffix, then the student will pull his or her chair back out
and sit down in it until the game is over. However, the student will
continue to spell the words out with the class when a student spells a word correctly.
7. After the student has sat down, he or she will throw the ball back
to the teacher.
8. The teacher will throw the ball to another student and then
proceed with the same procedures as before.
9. The game will continue until one person is standing.
10. If there are students who continue to spell the words correctly,
then the teacher will start having the students spell words that
are not the spelling words, but have the same type of suffixes that
the students are learning, until there is only one person left in the
game.
11. The last remaining student in the game will receive a prize for
winning.
