These DONKEY games are the ultimate card games to cater for flexibility when teaching suffixes. There are 44 cards in each set with a DONKEY card to add the fun. That's 22 card pairs. All the cards in the 6 sets are interchangeable, so you can just include the cards that target the particular suffixes you are teaching at the time. All sets have a discreet labelling system so you can reconstitute the sets again when and if you need to.

DONKEY is my most popular game. There is a short version that only takes around 10-15 minutes and a longer one if you have 30 minutes or so. The cards have an animal theme.
