Activity 2: Homophone Win, Lose, or Draw

Homophone Win, Lose, or Draw: pg. 234

Purpose:
The purpose of this activity is to have students look at homophones and understand the meaning of each pair.

Materials:

Cards with homophone pairs written on them

Paper and Pen/Pencil…. OR Dry erase board and marker

Directions:

1.       Write homophone pairs on cards and shuffle.

2.       Students divide into two equal teams, and one player from each team is selected as the artist for that round. The artist must draw a picture representing a given homophone, which requires understanding a homophone’s spelling and meaning.

3.       A card is pulled from the deck and shown simultaneously to the artists for both teams. As the artists draw, their teammates call out possible answers. When the correct word is offered, the artist calls on that team to spell both words in the pair.

4.       A point is awarded to the team that provides the correct information first. The artist then chooses the next artist and play proceeds in the same fashion.
