Title: Compound Word Bingo

Idea: The teacher makes up bingo cards that have half of a compound word on each square. Students can only cover up words that could make a compound word when combined with the word the teacher says. For example: Joe has the words "box", "dog", and "bird" on his card. If his teacher said the word "house", then Joe could cover up "dog" because "doghouse" makes a compound word.

Title: Compound It!
Idea: Invite students to play a compound word game.  First, have students make word cards for each of the words that will make up the words that will then be compounded in the game.  These words can be any word that they think of.  Collect all the cards and mix them up.  Split the class into teams and have them line up with a bell placed in front of each line.  Select one card from the deck and tell it to the students, but only the ones at the front of the line can answer.  There answer must be a word that creates a compound word.  If the word that the student says is a correct compound word that team receives a point.  If it is wrong the other team gets a chance to get it right.  Some of the words will probably not have any compound words that can be formed from it.  Those words are just acknowledged as not having compounds and the children get another word.  As a teacher you need to point out why those words do not have another word that would form a compound word.

Title: Slap Match
Idea: Materials Needed:
2 pieces of tag board
2 flyswatters
list of compound words

Example List:
baseball
watermelon
butterfly
sunflower
fireworks
rollerblade
crosswalk
thunderstorm
rainbow
lifeguard

Preparation:
The teacher should put ½ of each word on one piece of tag board. For example, the first board would have the words base, water, butter, sun, fire, roller, cross, thunder, rain, and life. The second board would have ball, melon, fly, flower, works, blade, walk, storm, bow, and guard. You should mix up the position of the words so that they do not align.

Activity:
Divide class into two "teams." Have students come to the board in pairs, one from each team. Give each student a flyswatter. Have them listen to a sentence read aloud by the teacher that contains a compound word on the list. For example, "I like to play baseball with my friends." The students should then be able to recognize that baseball was the compound word and be able to find each part of the word on the corresponding board. To get a point, the student should slap the correct portion of the word with their flyswatter. Award one point to the team for half of the word and two points to the team for the entire word.

Title: compound word matching
Idea: Make a board with 16 to 20 squares on it and in each square write a word. Have the students make as many compound words as they can with the words that are given to them. You could switch the words after each student has had a chance to participate in the compound word activity. You could either make this game on the computer so when you click the two words that match they would disappear or you could make a simple bulletin board or worksheet out of it.
