How Many Can You Form

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a creative activity designed to enhance students’ vocabulary by guiding them in the formation of compound words. Students are provided a list of single words and are tasked with combining them to form new compound words. They are instructed to “Combine the small words to make compound words. Write your words on the lines. Make as many compound words as you can,” promoting an active exploration of word pairings and encouraging creativity in their combinations.

The worksheet displays two columns of words such as “grand,” “ache,” “ever,” and “stake” on the left, with “how,” “board,” “mother,” and “spin” on the right, among others. Students are to look at these words and combine them in various ways to create as many compound words as possible, such as “grandmother” or “evergreen.”

This exercise not only helps students understand how English words can be put together to create new meanings but also aids in improving spelling skills and broadening vocabulary. The layout is clean and simple, providing a clear and distraction-free template for students to work on. This worksheet is a valuable resource for educators to help students practice language and word formation in an enjoyable and interactive way.
