If you teach first or second grade (or have a child that age at home), these 11 ready-to-go games and activities can help them practice
building and deconstructing compound words
differentiating when to use different ending punctuation types
recognizing when there is one sentence or more than one sentence
The first picture (bordered in red) is a collage of several of the 10 activities in this set. Then, the remaining pictures show all 10 items one at a time--close up, with a brief explanation of the activity. (Those explanation cards will be mailed to you with the rest of the items.)
Included in this set are the following lightly used items:
class set of ending punctuation sticks (give each student one of each, then read sentences and have them hold up the correct ending punctuation / great informal assessment / note: circles are not laminated)
"How many sentences?" Around-the-Room activity (includes student answer sheet, not laminated, asks student to determine if there are 1, 2 or 3 sentences on a given strip)
compound word cards (8 numbered and laminated cards for an "around the room" activity, plus lots of extra cards that can be turned into a different activity)
compound word building cards (I used these to introduce what compound words are in a whole class setting [using a large pocket chart] but his could also be used as an individual matching/compound building activity. Only the pictures are laminated on these)
compound words match (laminated)
2 Capture the Compounds game boards (fun!, laminated, full instructions on the game board)
build-a-compound-words magnets (put together the two smaller words and then match with the picture)
ending punctuation "around the room" activity (laminated, 12 cards, includes answer key, makes for a great informal assessment)
real or nonsense compound words sort (laminated headers and cards)
compound words Lace Race (4 laminated boards plus shoe laces)
THERE IS ONLY ONE SET AVAILABLE!
This set is used but in good shape! I'm just retiring from teaching and no longer need them.
