Compound Word Egg Hunt

A grown-up cuts the eggs apart on the zigzag and hides the halves around the room. Students hunt for halves, match the patterns, write the word on their sheet and check with the key.

Four pages after the cover, plus an answer key. Three pages hold 18 eggs, each cut along a zigzag into 2 word halves with matching patterns, for words such as ladybug, grasshopper, sunflower, wheelbarrow, eggshell and blueberry. The recording sheet has 18 lines to write both halves and the compound word.

These are written for 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 7-8. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 2nd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
