Sample questions

A few real prompts from the game to help you choose an activity for your class.

  1. Which of these is a samat compound?

    • ภูมิศาสตร์ (phumisat - geography)
    • พ่อครัว (pho khrua - cook)
    • ผ้าเช็ดหน้า (pha chet na - handkerchief)
    Read the explanation

    ภูมิศาสตร์ is ภูมิ plus ศาสตร์, both Sanskrit.

  2. Which of these is a complex sentence?

    • น้องฉันใส่เสื้อแดงมาโรงเรียน (my brother wore a red shirt to school)
    • เด็กที่ใส่เสื้อแดงเป็นน้องฉัน (the child in the red shirt is my brother)
    • เด็กใส่เสื้อแดงและน้องใส่เสื้อขาว (the child wears red and my brother wears white)
    Read the explanation

    The clause "in the red shirt" qualifies "child".

  3. What is the royal word for sleeping?

    • เสวย (sawoei)
    • ประทับ (prathap)
    • บรรทม (banthom)
    Read the explanation

    บรรทม is the royal word for sleeping.

What children will practise

A mixed Grade 5 Thai review: a samat compound, a complex sentence, a royal word, abridging, the klon suphap stanza and an idiom. Tagged ท 4.1 ป.5/1, and it also touches ป.5/4 (royal words) and ป.5/7 (idioms).

What's in the worksheet

6 questions, multiple choice with three options each - The samat compound: ภูมิศาสตร์ (distractors พ่อครัว, ผ้าเช็ดหน้า) - The complex sentence: เด็กที่ใส่เสื้อแดงเป็นน้องฉัน (the child in the red shirt is my brother) - The royal word for sleep: บรรทม (distractors เสวย, ประทับ) - Klon suphap has 4 lines to a stanza; รู้อย่างเป็ด means knowing many things, none deeply

How to use it in class

A 5-6 minute review before end-of-term tests; solo play shows each child's weak spots. Question 2 offers three very similar red-shirt sentences: write all three on the board and have children name the type of every one, not only the right one. After question 3, recall that เสวย means eat and ประทับ means sit or stay. You can link it to a class and record it in the gradebook.

Common sticking points

- Question 2: choosing เด็กใส่เสื้อแดงและน้องใส่เสื้อขาว because it looks most complicated. Show that it is compound: และ joins two equal statements. - Question 1: choosing ผ้าเช็ดหน้า because several words are joined. Stress that samat words are Pali or Sanskrit; this is a Thai compound. - Question 3: choosing ประทับ because they have heard it with resting. Clarify that ประทับ means sit or stay.
