Compound Words Tic Tac Toe

This game can be played as whole group or small group. The partners will take turns flipping over a card. If they draw a compound word they get to put a X or O on their board. If not, they have to discard their card and it is their partners turn. Repeat until someone fills in their board! :0)

Dear Deer/Lesson on Homophones

This last week I introduced homophones! So much fun!

I get so excited when I can read the book Dear Deer. The kids loved it! While reading the book we created a circle map of all of the homophones we heard in the story! [No picture, sorry!]

After the story, we talked more about what a homophone is and reviewed our circle map! I then passed out a sentence strip to each student with the homophone written on it. The kids were to spread out throughout the room and find their match. After everyone found their match, each one told which word they had and the definition!

We then played this really fun game! I taped a different sentence strip to their back! The kids had to find their match based on the clues their friends would give them. The clues had to be adjectives [Commotion in the Ocean is a great book to read on adjectives, FYI!!] or motions only!! The kids had a ball!

Love,
