Introduction
(5 minutes)- Invite students to play the “Mix and Match” game. In this game students will be challenged to find a partner that matches their word or suffix and then to say the new word.
- Distribute one word card to each student.
- Tell the students that when you say “go” they need to get up and find a student who has a card that can match their card to make a word.
- Demonstrate as needed.
- After playing the game, collect the cards and explain to the students that they just made some words that end in -ed. Tell them that they will be learning a new rule for using -ed to read and write in the past tense.
