Fun activities are a vital part of teaching English. They liven up the lesson and increase the understanding level of the students. One such activity was conducted for students of Class-III where they learnt about compound words with lots of fun.

The class was divided into five groups and each group was given a chart paper and few word cards. They were instructed to divide the chart paper and create a T-chart; title the first column “Word” and the second column “Meaning.”   Then they were asked to combine two correct words to form a compound word and paste it on the “word” column on the chart paper and write it’s meaning on the other column.

Later on they used the compound words to make sentences. Through this activity children learnt that a compound word is a combination of two or more words that function as a single unit of meaning. They could identify, create, and determine the meaning of compound words. The children enjoyed doing the activity and understood that Compound words in English make up a significant part of everyday vocabulary.
