Latin Root Cards - Illustrated Definitions and Examples

Use this pack of Illustrated Latin Roots with definitions to keep your students engaged in fun activities that reinforce the definition of each Latin root with examples of words that take on the meaning of the roots that they contain. Instructions are included for two games your students can play with these cards; 'Say It, Keep It' and 'Root Buzz'.

There are 31 Latin roots in this set. Each card has a root and two word examples that feature the latin root. The roots are: ambi, aqua, aud, bene, cent, circum, contra, counter, dict, duc/duct, fac, form, fort, fract, ject, jud, mal, mater, mit, mort, multi, pater, port, rupt, scrib/scribe, sec/sect, sent, spec, struct, vid/vis, and voc.

These cards are created in two different sizes. The original set has 8 cards per page and the larger set has 2 cards per page. The small set will save you ink and paper but many teachers have indicated to me that they preferred to have a larger set to make a bulletin board display. So, that's why I added the larger version.

A storage box template is also included for these cards.

Aligned to Common Core Standards (CCSS): L.4.4b and L.5.4b. 25 pages. For grades 4 & 5.
