EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

A ‘Go Fish’-style game to help students practise compound words. Suitable for middle-year students.

Learning Objectives:

Recognise and form compound words.
Strengthen vocabulary and word recognition.
Develop memory and strategic thinking skills through gameplay.

How the Activity Works:

Players use a deck of word cards to play a ‘Go Fish’ style game. Students ask each other for matching parts of compound words (e.g., “Do you have ‘fly’?” if they have ‘butter’). When a match is made, the player keeps the pair. The goal is to collect as many matched pairs of compound words as possible. This game can be printed and laminated for durability, ensuring a long-lasting and engaging resource for practising compound words.
