Make teaching compound words simple and engaging with this hands-on matching game designed to use with your whole class or as literacy centres, small groups, and independent practice in K–2 classrooms. Students build compound words by matching picture cards together, strengthening phonics skills and word understanding through an easy-to-prep, repeatable activity they’ll actually enjoy. Your students will love using these cards to learn about compound words! Choosing a partner doesn't have to be a daunting task for teachers and students alike. These 'pick a partner' cards can help students "find" their own partner randomly. Simply hand out a card to each child then they can search for the classmate with the matching one! Don't want it to be random, place a card face down on each student's desk before beginning so you have control over who is partnered with who but your student's still believe it is quite random. While organising your class, you can also use this as an opportunity to reinforce taught concepts, in this case - compound words (two words which when combined create a new word). But you don't just have to use these for class organisation! Add them to your literacy centre rotations as an engaging memory match game! Your children will love trying to make all the different compound words.
