World Families Quiz

The KS2 Grammar Quiz is an engaging educational tool designed to help Year 3 students grasp the concept of word families and understand how words are related in form and meaning. The quiz is composed of 10 questions, each paired with an answer slide for immediate feedback. It serves as an effective method for retrieval practice after teaching word families and can also be utilised to gauge pupil knowledge before starting the topic. Additionally, it can be an excellent starter activity to refresh students' understanding. The quiz questions explore the definition of a word family, the process of forming new words by adding prefixes and suffixes to root words, and identifying root words within various contexts.

Students are prompted to identify root words in sentences and determine the meanings of root words, such as 'honourable' for 'honest' and 'to write' for 'scribe'. They are also challenged to list words belonging to specific word families, like those related to 'real' and 'sign', and to discern the root word in given examples. The quiz culminates with a question on identifying the root word that means 'pleasing', which is 'please'. Through this interactive quiz, students can deepen their understanding of word families and develop their vocabulary and linguistic skills in a structured and enjoyable way.
