the prefix game...
this is how it goes...
example prefixes
un, re, ex, etc...
or it can be a compound word, meaning it has 2 words put together to make a bigger one ("railroad') rail is a word and road is a word (there can't be any extra letters or overlapping letters and the two words have to make sense by themselves!!!)
ready???
i'll say a word that has a prefix
"repeat"
(for those that don't know english grammer... 're' is the prefix and 'peat' is the root word(though thats not really the name for it... i can't remember what it is...))
then person #2 has to say a word that has any prefix whose root word starts with a 'p' 'e' 'a' or 't'
"displease" or you could say "reteach" or whatever
if you come up with a word that has a letter 'q' or a letter 'z', you get rep points!!! (one rep point per q or z!!!)
so if you came up with a word having two z's, you get two rep points (get it?)
one more thing: NO CHEATING!!! (this means using any list of words including a dictionary!!!)
