Compound Words - Ideas for Use


  • IMMERSE YOUR CHILDREN IN WORDS...

  • Print out cards (print smaller if you like) use one set for classification games such as classify by 'double letters' etc - loads of ideas from '101 Flashcard Activities'. Cut the other set down the middle using either a straight cut or zigzag puzzle cut - children match the 2 pieces.

  • Use the puzzle pieces above to make up 'silly compound words' - for example - jellyglasses, bedbox, earberg, ladysaver. Children draw funny pictures to match..

  • Use the words for examples of phonics - Match with Phonics Charts

  • We have made these up as A4 size so that you can then have the choice of printing them as is or reducing them easily to A5 or smaller using your printer settings.

  • You can make this rhyming activty more difficult by also cutting down the middle so that the children need to match the word and picture as well as the rhyming patterns.

  • As a class, in groups or individually - brainstorm and add new compound words (great homework activity). Go for a 'word walk' and find more in environmental print and books.

  • Using the cut up pieces above - play 'concentration' - turn them all over - children take turns turning over 2 pieces - try to find the matching pairs.

  • Make smaller black and white copies easily by printing 3 or more to a page - ideal for children to cut up and paste the matching pairs.

  • Pop them into your labelled pockets, or small washing powder boxes - and add to your ever growing class word cards collection - ready for grab and go games word card activities...

  • I saw an interesting post on Pinterest the other day, showing a plastic, sandwich size, zip-lock bag that had had a piece of duct tape run along the base. The duct tape provided reinforcing that allowed holes to be punched through the bag for storage in a binder. I imagine you could run the tape down the side of larger zip-lock bags for a similar effect. This may not solve all your storage issues, but if there\'s just a few small games to go with a unit that\'s otherwise stored in a binder, it might help!

  • I was just thinking the other day that I needed some matching cards for numbers over 100 then today I came across the new parts of speech posters and thought I\'d check out the \"What\'s New\" section and there I found exactly what I had been wanting. Thank you so much for your wonderful resources. This is the first place I check when looking for resources and I\'ve been able to build a great collection since moving to the lower school grades last year. Thanks again!
