The game Root Words

Game about common root words to test Greek and Latin root word knowledge.

Instructions for Root Words

A root word is a word or part of a word that forms the basis of new words by adding prefixes and suffixes. These words come from Latin and Greek in traditional root words and do not stand alone as a complete word. Understanding the meanings of common language roots can help you work out the meanings of new words as you see them.

This game Root words is designed to test your students knowledge of both Latin and Greek root words and their meanings while still having fun!

(L) = Latin root word

(G) = Greek root word

The student has 3 hearts, giving them another chance at missed multiple choice questions during a game round. There is no time limit. When the student has selected all the correct answers, the game round is completed. If it is too difficult, the player can click the button labeled Cancel - then the correct answers will be displayed - and try to complete the level again.

Calculation of knowledge points and medals

Each completed game level in Root Words gives 1 knowledge points. You can collect a maximum of 6 knowledge points by completing all 6 levels.
In the game Root Words, you can earn a total of 18 medals. Medals are awarded based on how many times you have completed a level:
  • Bronze medal: after completing 2 rounds.
  • Silver medal: after completing 5 rounds.
  • Gold medal: after completing 10 rounds.
Knowledge points are only awarded for levels you have not completed before, meaning those that do not yet have checked green circles. Even after completing a level and earning both knowledge points and medals, you can continue practicing it. However, this will not grant any additional knowledge points or medals.
