Compound words

This English What’s in my tray? activity will support your child’s understanding of compound words.

• English (KS1)
• Compound words
• Simple to recreate at home.

What to do:

• Get three pieces of different coloured paper/card and a pen.
• Make a list of compound words (you can use ours as a starter but feel free to add your own).
• The compound word itself needs to be written on the different pieces of paper as pictured above.
• After all the words have been written, cut them out and mix them up in a container.
• Can your child match the words to make the compound words?
