Increase your children’s vocabulary without workbooks or study - learn while playing Rummy Roots! This unique card game will allow students to master 42 different Greek and Latin roots. After learning these familiar roots and practicing alphabetizing via a simple “Go Fish”-type game, players progress to 3 higher levels of play. In Level 1, players combine roots to form English words and practice dictionary skills. In level 2, dictionary skills are improved as players try to stump their opponents. Level 3 is played like Rummy using three root combinations to further expand vocabulary and comprehension. The result of all this fun? Mastering 42 Greek and Latin roots, over 190 vocabulary words learned, and the ability to at least partially decipher over 2,000 words!

The Rummy Roots game is excellent. The rules are easy to understand and only took a few moments to read. After that, my ten year old daughter and I played. She loved it! (She beat me two out of three times!) It was so easy and I could see her learning. Painless repetition of Greek and Latin roots and their meanings! The cards are divided into three groups so as not to be overwhelming. After mastering one group, move on to the next. After all three groups are mastered, there are three more games to play to help kids (and adults) increase vocabulary and form new words. This was well worth it!

This game has been a fun and painless way to learn root words. My son and I have nearly memorized all the root words and their definitions and will soon be ordering Rummy Roots 2. It's super easy to use and no prep. work needed. You can't beat the value and it doesn't feel like "doing school" at all. We love this game and use it nearly every day in our homeschool.
