Many thanks to the Teaching Channel for this creative idea! Unless you know of a store giving away quantities of paint chips (and I don't) you might want to adapt (as we teachers do) and make our own. For whatever reason, this article was written as a vocabulary activity for students in grades 9-12, but I certainly think it would be successful in primary grades using various decoding skills. The essence of the activity is that that the top paint chip is given - in this case a target synonym - the students then write synonyms underneath the target word. I can easily see this used for affix practice. A target root word is given and students then write the word adding prefixes and suffixes underneath. Your imagination is the limit in how you might engage your students! How cool it would be for collaborative learning and sharing! You'll enjoy this article & 2minute video. Please suggest how you might use it for your students in the Comments below.
