Matching Words

Worksheet Description

This educational worksheet is designed to help students learn about compound words through a matching exercise. Students are instructed to match the words listed on the left with those on the right to form compound words. The directions are clear and concise, asking students to “Match the words to form compound words,” guiding them to combine the beginnings and endings listed to create new words.

The worksheet features two columns: the left column presents ten starting word fragments, such as “sea,” “any,” and “hand,” while the right column offers ten ending fragments, like “place,” “wreck,” and “saw.” Students must draw lines or write the letter of the matching word fragment next to the number of the starting fragment, forming complete compound words.

This activity requires students to think critically about word formation and vocabulary. The clean and organized layout of the worksheet enables easy comprehension and ensures that students can focus on the matching task without distraction. The inclusion of a pencil graphic adds a playful touch to the page, making the activity visually appealing to young learners. This worksheet is an excellent tool for educators to engage students in building their vocabulary in a fun and interactive way.
