Original Prompt

Create a I Have/Who Has game for 2nd graders using words that end in the suffixes -er and -est. Make it a game for 16 people.

This resource focuses on teaching students how to identify and use suffixes -er and -est for comparing people, places, and things. It begins with an explanation of suffixes and their role in grammar, particularly in forming comparatives and superlatives. The resource provides clear examples, such as how to use -er for comparing two items (e.g., 'taller') and -est for three or more items (e.g., 'tallest'). It includes interactive activities, like 'The Comparative Quest' game, where students draw cards, assess the number of items being compared, and apply the correct suffix, along with a collaborative 'I Have, Who Has' game that reinforces understanding through peer interaction. There are also opportunities for student reflection to enhance learning.
