Complete Them

Worksheet Description

This worksheet provides an engaging activity focused on compound words, where students are prompted to complete and illustrate the words. The title “Compound Words” is followed by a simple directive: “Complete each compound word.” Students are given the beginning of several words like “sea,” “horse,” “dragon,” “lady,” “star,” “ant,” “butter,” “bull,” and “wood” and must fill in the blanks to form compound words. The worksheet encourages students to draw upon their vocabulary to find words that can logically complete the compound, such as “sea_horse” or “dragon_fly.”

Once the compound words are completed, the worksheet poses a reflective question: “What do all these compound words have in common?” This invites students to analyze their answers and identify the unifying characteristic of the completed compounds, which could be that they all contain the name of a living creature.

In the final section, students are asked to draw pictures of four of the compound words, combining their language skills with creativity and visual expression. This task not only solidifies their understanding of the compound words but also allows for a fun artistic expression. The layout of the worksheet is clear and well-organized, providing ample space for writing and drawing, making it a versatile tool for teaching language arts in an interactive and enjoyable way.
