This worksheet features eight pairs of images for your students to interpret - can they join 'door' and 'bell' to make 'doorbell'? There's also an interactive exercise including eight sentences with missing words that need to be filled in with the appropriate compound word. First, your students can create compound words and sketch corresponding images.

Teaching compound words to young kids involves helping them learn that compound words are formed when two individual words are joined together to create a new word with a different meaning. Start by giving examples like "sunflower," "toothbrush," or "bedroom," and explain how the meanings of the two words combine to make the meaning of the new word. Utilize visual aids such as flashcards or pictures and games to make the learning process interactive and fun. It's also beneficial to consistently review and practice to reinforce their understanding.

Try combining different words and see if they logically fit together to form a commonly used compound word.

Standards: This activity covers English Language standards. Specifically, it deals with vocabulary acquisition and use. It helps students understand the concept of compound words - that is, words that are composed of two or more separate words.
