Description
Commonly Confused Words
This get the scoop on confusing words activity helps students choose the right homophone in a sentence. Words like to, too and two or there, their and they’re sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. Students read each sentence, think about what it means, and pick the word that makes sense. That habit carries straight into their own writing.
How to Play the Ice Cream Matching Game
Print the 16 numbered Cone Cards and the 16 Scoop Cards and cut them apart. Lay the scoops face up. A student picks a cone, reads the sentence, finds the scoop with the word that completes it, and stacks the scoop on the cone. Each scoop word is used exactly once, so the last few matches double as a self-check. Students record the cone number and the word on the Recording Sheet. Use the get the scoop on confusing words activity in a literacy center, with a partner or as a quick review. It is a fun 2nd grade homophones activity that also challenges 3rd and 4th graders. A 3rd Grade practice worksheet asks students to circle and write the correct word in eight sentences.
