Identify Two Words in a Compound Word

What do we have here, word detective?  

Can you help us solve this challenge?

 

What do the words below have in common?

 

                                                              

                teapot                                             popcorn                                       bedroom

 

They are all made up of two smaller words!

These words are called compound words and are made when smaller words join together to make a longer word.

tea + pot = teapot

pop + corn = popcorn

bed + room = bedroom

 

Can you be a superhero (compound word alert!) and identify the compound words from the pictures below?

 

                                        

 

Many compound words begin with the word some.

some + thing = something

some + one = someone

some + where = somewhere

 

Can you think of any other compound words beginning with some?

 

In this activity, you will need to be a superstar spotter and find two words that join together to make a longer word.

Let's get started!
