Group Work focusing on Compound Words
Below is an example of a completed group project consisting of six students.
Each student decorated their own gingerbread person and made their chosen compound word. Each group was given materials: gingerbread foam person, foam letters, circles, other shapes and eyeballs.
First Day - Prior to beginning the group projects as a class class we brainstormed a list of holiday compound words.
Second Day
Completed Student Example
Students in each group chose the compound word they would make
There were six children in this group. Student 1 chose gingerbread, student 2 chose snowman, student 3 chose gumdrop, student 4 chose treetop, student 5 chose snowflake and student 6 chose season.
Each student then completed the page below describing their compound word.

Next, each student wrote their adjective words (clue) on a piece of paper, folded it and placed it in the reindeer (compound word) bag. Students took turns grabbing a clue, reading the adjectives listed and then having students guess which compound word they described.
