This language lesson is designed for 6 to 12-year-old children. It helps the child learn about forming compound words with pictures.
What are Compound words?
Compound words are formed when two or more words join together to make a new word with a new meaning.
For example,
butter + fly = butterfly.
cup + cake = cupcake
In this video lesson, picture cards are used to help a child form new compound words. It also helps the child to practice breaking the compound word into its root words.
Examples of Compound words shown in video
foot + ball = football
cup + cake = cupcake
tree + house = tree house
rain + bow = rainbow
tooth + brush = toothbrush
book + shelf = bookshelf
arm + chair = armchair
bread + stick = breadstick
lip + stick = lipstick
ear + ring = earring
snow + man = snowman
drum + stick = drumstick and more
Watch the video to learn how to form the compound words and to break them to create two different words.
Invite the child to make new compound words with the pictures of familiar objects around them, as shown in the video, and help them enhance their vocabulary.
