Compound Words for 2nd Graders: Tips & Tricks

Hey, teacher friends! We are back with another grammar skill post, and this time we are featuring compound words for 2nd graders. This skill is actually pretty fun for kids, and one they can easily grasp. Keep reading for a definition, chart, resource ideas and free samples on compound words for 2nd graders.

What are compound words?

To put it simply, compound words are two smaller words put together to make a bigger word. These new words have a different meaning than when they were two separate small words. I tell my students compound words are like puzzle pieces: they are separate pieces but can also fit together to make a new word!

The two smaller words have separate meanings on their own. Then, when put together, they have a whole new meaning!

Another way to explain compound words to students is to hold up your two fists shoulder width apart. Hold up one fist higher and say, “sun”. Then, hold up the other fist and say, “glasses”. Then, put your two fists together and say, “sunglasses”. This is a great visual for students.

Compound Word Chart

So what are good compound word examples in 2nd grade? Check out the chart below for ideas. If you want, project it as an anchor chart (or even project and trace it for an easy-to-make anchor chart).

Resources for Teaching Compound Words in 2nd Grade

After introducing the anchor chart, it is important to continue practicing the skill. Below are some teacher favorite resources that students will find engaging AND learn from!

1) Videos & Songs

Introducing Compound Words-Grammar Songs by Melissa

This video is a great supplement to your whole group grammar lesson.

It’s Fun to Make Two Words One: Versions 1 & 2 Jack Hartmann

These videos provide practice in reading the small words and a visual of them being put together to form the new word.

2) Independent Practice Resources

Once you are all caught up on all things Toothy, download the compound words Toothy game set below!

Students will love using the pictures to create compound words!

Compound Word Flashcards

Here is a teaching idea to quickly create compound words flashcards: print off our LLL compound words anchor chart from above. Cut it apart. Set aside the compound words, keeping only the small word cards. Place enough cards, one for each student, into a bucket and have each student draw one out. When the teachers says, “Go!” they have to find their compound word partner as quick as possible. This is a fun activity and students are sure to get the giggles when they make ridiculous words on the way to finding their correct partner!

Word Meanings Toothy Games

Yes, another Toothy resource because this game is oh so fun! Build upon your students’ understanding of compound words, by venturing into word meanings~
