Second Grade Prefix Activity Using Un-, Re-, and Dis- - Free Printable

Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We’ll pick the right prefix — un, re, or dis — based on what the word needs to mean.

Remember:
- un = not or opposite (like “undo” = do the opposite)
- re = again (like “rewrite” = write again)
- dis = not or opposite of (like “disagree” = not agree)

Now let’s solve each:

1. Mother will ___ wrap the gift → She already wrapped it, now she’s doing it again? No — probably she made a mistake and is fixing it → rewrap
2. The man ___ loaded the wood → He took the wood out of the truck → that’s the opposite of load → unloaded
3. Tom ___ likes eating vegetables → He does NOT like them → dislikes
4. She ___ tied her shoes before taking them off → She did it first, then took them off → so she must have tied them again earlier? Wait — actually, if she took them off, she probably untied them first → untied
5. It is time to ___ paint the house → Paint it again → repaint
6. Fred’s ___ kind words hurt his feelings → Words that are NOT kind → unkind
7. My teacher told me to ___ do my homework → Do it again because it was messy → redo
8. The road was ___ safe → Not safe → unsafe
9. The magician will make the rabbit ___ appear → Make it NOT appear → disappear
10. I would like a ___ fill on my drink → Fill it again → refill
11. If I ___ obey my parents, I will have to go to my room → If I do NOT obey → disobey
12. The little girl was ___ happy when she lost her doll → Not happy → unhappy

Let me double-check each:

1. rewrap ✔

3. dislikes ✔
4. untied ✔
5. repaint ✔
6. unkind ✔
7. redo ✔
8. unsafe ✔
