Feed Roly at the hatchery in Prefix & Suffix Fish. A wooden tray holds a root such as teach or power. Drag a Head or a Tail from the raceway and Snap a fin onto the body. Second graders build prefixes and suffixes while Bites stack and the Haul gauge fills.
The hatchery starts
Prefix & Suffix Fish starts on its own. Tap Easy, Medium, or Hard on the clipboard. There is no Play button over the fins.
Read the tray
The tray shows a root body. The prompt says Snap a fin. Drag a Head or a Tail onto the body.
Snap a fin
Drop a Head on the left slot or a Tail on the right slot. A hit adds Bites and the ticket says Roly eats the new word. A miss costs a minnow.
Fill Haul to Roly's full
Snap eight fish to win, or keep going until the minnows are gone. Roly's full shows your Bites score, a rank, and Feed again.
Snap a fin on the hatchery tray
The tray shows a root body. Heads carry prefixes and Tails carry suffixes. Drag a fin onto the empty slot and Snap a fin. A hit locks the piece and Roly gulps the whole fish. A miss recoils the fin and costs a minnow.
A haul toward Roly's full
Prefix & Suffix Fish starts on its own. Easy, Medium, or Hard stay on the clipboard so you can switch the pitch without a menu. Each snapped fish fills Haul. Eight fish reach Roly's full.
Bites score and streak
Each snapped fish starts at 100 Bites and grows by 50 with a streak. Point pops fly off the tray. A miss resets the streak. The Haul gauge shows the feed toward Roly's full.
Difficulty that changes the skill
Easy uses everyday roots such as teach and power with three slow fins. Medium adds more decoy Heads and Tails. Hard runs five fins, and some trays ask you to Snap both fins before Roly eats.
Prefix & Suffix Fish is a second-grade word-parts game about prefixes and suffixes. Kids snap a Head or a Tail onto a root body so Roly can eat a whole fish. Easy stays on roots such as teach and power. Medium and Hard open more decoys, and Hard sometimes asks you to Snap both fins. The skill is word structure, not tapping a quiz card.
Word parts in motion
Second-grade ELA asks kids to decode common prefixes and suffixes. Prefix & Suffix Fish makes that a feed: read the tray, then Snap a fin.
A race to fill Haul
Each snapped fish fills Haul. Kids feel Roly getting closer when the fins come fast.
Instant hatchery feedback
A hit locks the fin and sprays Bites off the tray. A miss recoils. The board always uses Snap a fin, so the tray and the how-to say the same words.
Works on a finger or a mouse
Drag a Head or a Tail onto a slot. Touch targets stay large, and the hot slot lights up while you snap.
The tray shows a root such as teach or power. Heads carry prefixes and Tails carry suffixes. Easy uses everyday fits such as teacher and powerful. Medium adds more decoys. Hard uses five fins and some trays need you to Snap both fins.
Each snapped fish starts at 100 Bites and grows by 50 with a streak. A miss resets the streak and costs one of three minnows.
Read the tray. Drag a Head or a Tail onto the body so the letters make a real word. If the body shows teach, snap er or ing. If it shows power, snap ful or less.
Five fins sit in the raceway, more decoys look close, and some trays say Snap both fins before Roly eats.
Prefix & Suffix Fish is second-grade vocabulary. Easy works for a first pass. Medium and Hard hone prefixes and suffixes.
