About this resource
Description
Some words have more than one meaning: a bat can fly through a cave or hit a baseball. This double dip homographs activity helps 2nd, 3rd and 4th Grade students learn that homographs and other multiple-meaning words are spelled the same, then use the clues in a sentence to decide which meaning fits.
Students cut out ten cone cards, each with one word, and twenty scoop cards, each with a sentence that has a blank. They read a scoop, try each cone word in the blank, and stack the scoop on the cone that makes sense. Every cone gets two scoops, one for each meaning, to build a double-scoop treat. Each sentence fits only one word, so the answer key is clear. Students record their cones and scoops on the recording sheet. This multiple meaning words game is perfect for a literacy center, partner work or a small reading group.
What’s Included
- A How to Use page with steps and prep tips
- 10 cone word cards
- 20 scoop sentence cards
- A recording sheet
- A 3rd Grade practice worksheet: fill in the bubble for the meaning
- Answer keys for the card match and the practice page
Why It Helps Kids
- Students practice using context clues, a skill they need on reading tests.
- Seeing both meanings side by side helps the new meaning stick.
- The ice cream theme turns vocabulary practice into a sweet, hands-on game.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Introduce the double dip homographs activity by acting out a word like “wave” two ways. After the game, ask students to choose one cone word and draw a picture of each meaning. At home, families can hunt for multiple-meaning words in a favorite book and talk about which meaning the author used.
