Compound Puzzles:
Use different compound words and make them into puzzle pieces. For example: take the word ladybug. You put the word lady on one puzzle piece and the word bug on another piece and you make sure the puzzle pieces fit together. You can make a whole set of these with different words.

Title: Compound Word Old Maid
Idea: This compound game is based on the game "Old Maid". Pick out as many familiar compound words as you can (some are listed below). Using the index cards as the playing cards, place the beginning word on one card. Then, place the ending word on a different card. It should look like this: CARD 1 CARD 2 Cup - board
It helps younger students if you color code the words, for example "cup" "-board" could be red, while "farm" "-house" could be orange, etc. Just keep the cards in bundles with a rubber band for easy use and play. Place in each deck a card that says CONJURE. This is the "old maid" in the set.

For word comprehension for the word dogpound a picture of a dog and the word pound.

Title: Two Become One
Idea: For this exercise you will need a felt board. In column A have a list of
words, for example news, cup, wheel, ice, and with, to name a few. In column B
have another list of words such as paper, board, barrow, cube, and out. On the
back of the column B words you will need a piece of valcro so you can move the
words around the felt board. Next you have students match each of the words in
column B to a word in column A to make a compound word.
Here is a an example of what you might want the felt board to look like.
A B
news board
cup out
wheel paper
ice cube
with barrow

Title: Compound Word Memory
Idea: This game is played much like the child game memory. One card will contain
the first word in the compound word and another card will have the last word in
the compound word. The students have to match words to make compound words. Some
examples could be: Rain, Bow, Dog, House, Mail, Man, Weather, Man, Sun, and
Shine. For younger students below the word would be a picture of the word.
