My child needed some help remembering compound words, so I thought it would be fun to make a Groundhog Game and lesson on teaching compound words.

Of course it wouldn’t be complete without making a few Groundhog Day k-3 crafts.

Groundhog Day is always a FUN and silly holiday in our home.

What You Need:

• (7) pieces of white card stock
• Laminator and sheets
• Scissors
• Dry Erase Marker and Eraser
• 2 plastic snack bags to store

Here’s How it Works:

• Print printables out on white cardstock and laminate
• Cut out the Groundhogs images with words on them
• Place the Groundhog images in piles of green and brown
• Have child pick (1) brown card and then find the correct green card match to make a compound word
• Child places the cards on the main sheet (see photo above)
• Next the child writes the compound word with the dry erase marker
• The child can also use the cards and play a memory game.

These will make a FUN center for a classroom, too!
