4. Monster Munch (Grades 2–5): Students are exposed to the larger word families of the theme’s vocabulary to practice affixes, compound words, and derivatives. When students create the correct word to complete a sentence, they can feed the monsters a snack.

Example of Grade 2 Monster Munch activity in the theme, “It’s My Job: Teach Me!”

5. Crabby Crates ( Grades 2–5): Students complete analogies to gain a deeper understanding of vocabulary words. When they complete an analogy correctly, the truck drives off to deliver its load.

Example of Grade 2 Crabby Crates activity in the theme, “It’s My Job: Teach Me!”
