Connect compound words through a variety of hands-on and interactive activities. Students will explore what makes a compound word through playing a fun game called “Peas in a Pod.”
Students will read, recognize, and write individual words that can be used to make a new compound word. Students will identify characteristics of compound words.
Tell your students that they are going to learn about a compound word, which is one large word that is made up of two smaller words.
Introduce the game I Spy a Word I Know. Using either the SMART Board file or the poster, ask the students to find words that they recognize inside the larger words.
Ask your students to name the words they see, and have other students come up to the board and point to those words.
