Can I use the correct prefix?

Prefixes are a group of letters that change the meaning of a word when they

are added to the start. Most prefixes mean a similar thing when they're added

to different words.

1. un usually means not. For example, unhappy, unlocked, unfair

2. dis and mis usually have negative meanings. For example, disagree, disobey,

misbehave, mislead

3. re usually means again or back. For example, redo, reappear, redecorate

4. sub usually means under. For example, subheading or submarine

etc.

• Make the car and the things around the car blurry.

• Wheels are a dark shape.

• Lines going out from the back of the car.

• Lines coming across the car.

Play your own Wacky Races with your families.

Create a flat 2D wacky racer on a piece of paper and cut it out. You will need a

finish line. This game is exactly the same as Flap the Fish.
