Are you looking for a fun, quick-prep way to teach your kids about compound words? These picture compound word puzzles are a great way to learn how to blend and segment compound words. Show your kids how to make new words by starting with the largest parts in a word and working to learn how to identify and isolate the smallest parts in a word. 

This important pre-reading skill is one of the phonological awareness skills students learn in preschool and kindergarten. This free printable Compound Word Puzzle set is a great way for your preschoolers and kindergarteners to practice blending two words to from a compound word.

  • Placing them in a pocket chart for kids to match.
  • Simply having the puzzle pieces in a small box or bag and letting kids work on matching the puzzles. This is a great busy bag option.
  • Placing the laminated cards in your favorite sensory bin (a bin of rainbow pom poms would be great!). Have kids find the puzzle pieces and then match them.
  • Place the pieces of the puzzle around the room for the kids to find. Once they’ve found them all (or think they have!), have them match the puzzles.

Answer Key for Teacher Use-Compound Word Puzzles

An answer key is provided to help teachers identify the correct words. It is always helpful to review the vocabulary with students before expecting them to do an activity independently.

I’d suggest doing the activity together on a pocket chart before placing it in a literacy center for extra independent practice.
