  • BIG words for
  • little words

31
  • Big and little are great words for the very

35
But what to do with it?
  • Use in Call My Bluff
  • Write (carefully) on board and find
  • as many smaller words as possible from it.
  • Find other words that begin with Pneum
  • and their meanings.
  • Its a sesquipedalian word ( a long word).
