With this activity, students will combine creativity and learning by using LEGO blocks to build "word towers" Each color or size of LEGO represents a different part of a word (root, prefix, suffix). Students can build and deconstruct words, linking them to their meanings and discussing how the parts work together.

As teachers, we have the opportunity to make learning fun for our students. For instance, we can turn morphology into a mystery by having students play "Word Detective". We can provide our students with a list of words where the root is hidden. Students must "investigate" and figure out the original word by deconstructing it, then present their findings to the class.
