Task 1 - Use the words in the box to make as many compound words as you can. Some of the words can be used more than once.

Some examples to start you off…

bed + room = bedroom sun + light = sunlight hand + bag = handbag

Task 2 - There are many animals whose names are compound words. For example, dragonfly, rattlesnake, ladybird. How many more can you think of? Write a list.

Task 3 - Using your list of compound animal names, try being like Max and swapping the vowels. For example, ladybird will become lidybard. (Be aware that if both parts of the compound word have the same vowel, it won’t change.)
